View 7 Replies View RelatedThe cut and paste control keys do not work on my computer [ Control-X cut & Control-V paste]. There is no error message - they just don't work.For example, if I open a document with Notepad and try to move all or part of it into an internet email then nothing happens. No error messages, just nothing. Same with my word processor I'm using OpenOffice Writer for word processing, free version, and got nothing from them on this question.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running XP Pro with IE8, there is a problem when I attempt to copy and paste, I can put the pointer on where I want to start highlighting and it will not follow the movement of the mouse when attempting to highlight. You can put the pointer on a sentence and hold the mouse while sliding and it will not highlight, or it may start highlighting somewhere in the middle or maybe not at all. I have tried from bottom up and top down, it makes no difference, this is driving me crazy because I use the copy and paste feature quite often. I've never had this happen before, something appears to be conflicting; but I've been running the same programs for a long period of time and never seen this before.

Sometimes when I have copied something the Paste key is greyed out but the text is saved in YC. Other times it is not saved either place. When I delete cookies and temporaries, that sometimes causes the clipboard and sometimes not, and sometimes it will work only once or twice and then quit again.

View 21 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is something that is possible with Window's native software. But, hopefully, it is Basically, I am working with an online database. My work requires me to cut/paste different lines of text from my hard drive onto the online database Typically, to cut/paste, I highlight the text, right click > cut > paste. However, this text is erased as soon as I select something else.Is there a way I can set up keystrokes to get around this?For example, Say I need to cut/paste the following:1) "Red" 2) "Rubber" 3) "Ball" Can I set up Windows so that "Red" will be outputted whenever I press a certain key combo (say F1/C) and that "Rubber" will be outputted when I press F2/C?

I really messed up my computer. I think I deleted a necessary Service. I searched high & low at Microsoft Support & all over the internet, but everthing I do to try to fix the problem only brings me to another error message or another function that does not work properly. I don't think I have a virus or any other malicious software because I scanned my computer a day or 2 before this happened & it was clean.
My taskbar/start menu has disappeared, system restore won't work, I am unable to make any chages to my system services, safe mode is working just as bad as regular startup, many programs do not work properly including internet explorer and more. I am almost surprised I am able to post this. I have pretty much given up on trying to restore my necessary service(s) or restore my computer to my last restore point. I decided to burn some files/folders to my disk drive and then re-format my computer. But I have run into another problem. I am unale to cut, copy, paste, drag, drop, move or send files/folders to another location on my computer, including my CD-R drive. I am able to select cut, copy, sent to, etc, but nothing happens after I do.
Why is it that when i copy files or pictures, sometimes they copy and sometimes the cut?
