Windows XP SP2 Shift/Ctrl+Ins

Hi,

I have recently reinstalled Windows XP Sp2 and all hotfixes and I
figure out a strange behavior if I use shift+Insert and strg+delete
which I use permanently for coping text.

the behavior is that if i copy text into the clipboard by control+c
(before i used ctrl+ins) and using then shift+ins to insert the text
nothing happened - i need to press return twice and then it's working!
it always like that!

does anybody has an idea?

thanks

Try using Ctrl-V instead of Shift-Ins. It sounds like you may have a program or
something that is monitoring the keyboard for hotkeys.

You're absolutely right!! It was a tool called "texter" from
lifehacker!
Thanks for the food for thought!

cheers!
