Extended Clipboard ?

[Seek]

It will more than likely run on XP. Have you tried registering the ocx or
dll? Here is example usage of regsvr32, typed into the Run line:

regsvr32.exe glide2x.dll

To undo what you've done (uninstall), you would type:

regsvr32.exe /u glide2x.dll

Hopefully you know the ocx file it is asking for. May be too much work if
you don't, but to find out you could install Cliptray on a 98 sytem,
logging the install with Total Uninstall to find out what gets put into the
system. If you already have it installed in the win98 system, then
uninstalling it may not take out everything that was put in, so you may not
find out what you want when you reinstall. There is also a program called
Dependency Walker, but I haven't used it much... let me know if it works
(if you try it).

Stuff gets complicated huh

Thanks for that, I may give it a go, but will try "Scrapps" suggestion
first.

This could be useful for other programs though.

I have been a long time user and fan of Windows Cliptray (there is a
quite different non Microsoft product also called Cliptray).

Have tried many alternative cliptray managers, but Cliptray seems to
be the easiest and best for my needs.

I originally installed it under Win 98 and somehow managed to install
it under Win XP and have used it in that environment for the last 6
months without problem.

I have recently carried out a clean reinstall of windows XP and for
the life of me cannot get Cliptray to install in the new system.

It is on the win 98 CD but it won't install under XP - says you have
to install win 98 first.

Tried just copying the files across but it balked at a missing dll,
which I found on my old system and copied across, but then it balked
at some "failure to register an ocx" message which I deleted in
frustration.

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how it can be installed under
XP. I know it can be done, but how????

Make sure you try the simplest way first... copy over the dll's and ocx's
and whatever files into the SAME folder as Cliptray. I didn't mention it
cause I assumed you knew when you talked about copying the files across.

Hmmm... interesting. The site only refers to the required .ocx and .dll
files, but doesn't mention the need to register them. Unfortunately I
don't know enough about the ins & outs of XP to say why things might
work OK on 2000, but not XP.

I have just tried this process and it works perfectly without any
need to register the .ocx or.dll

Many thanks to Scrapps for pointing me to this solution.

Interestingly, I have also tried out the "other" clip tray
(http://cliptray.f2o.org/) and it does actually provide a very
acceptable alternative.

The only criticism I have is that it doesn't provide any means to
resequence the clips as the original clip tray does.

Yes, I had some in some chinese soup the other night - very nice it was
