Excel Automatically Clearing The Clipboard

A co-worker of mine is having a strange problem with the Excel clipboard.
When he highlights and copies a range, Excel will clear the clipboard and the
moving dotted line will vanish from around the copy area. This happens
anywhere from between 4 and 20 seconds after he copies. I've seen it happen
personally.

He has XL 2000, SP3. Is there a bug or setting in Excel that could account
for this?
 
Hi MDW,

Are any macros being run?

Is there any event code in the sheet's module?
 
disable all add ins

start excel in safe mode. excel /s

see if it still happens
