In the control panel, Administrative Tools, double-click Services, right-click
ClipBook, properties, "Startup type" expand to Automatic. "Service status" click
start.

If you want the viewer available, it is here, create a shortcut and drag it to your
desktop.
C:\WINNT\system32
It is called "clipbrd"

Thanks Mary. You'd think after all this time someone in MS would have
gotten round to fixing this.

Keep in mind, that it isn't necessary to have that turned on in Sevices to have the clipboard open. Simply click start/run, then type CLIPBRD and hit ok will give you that exe.

tom, thanks. I can open the clipboard viewer as you suggested but is there a way to create a shortcut. mary's instructions weren't very clear on just how to create the shortcut.
thanx
