View 12 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.

View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen I highlight text and click Copy, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.I use Yankee Clipper which provides more versatility to the clipbboard. 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 7 Replies View Related my comp is very screwy lately. if i right click a folder and copy
it, or just right click it, its fine. but if i try to paste or right
click once again the whole explorer will crash leaving no icons on my
desktop. then it will reload everything back up.
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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know some images you can't copy and paste, but I use to go to free clip art sites and would be able to copy and paste into Word for kids school projects. Now I can't and I have not been able to for a while now. I think it is an Internet Explorer problem, but I could be wrong. I just recently installed Service Pack 2 for Internet Explorer and still does not work. I am able to copy and paste text, but not images.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a curiosity question more than anything At my office, an outside tech guy told us to always copy-and-paste when moving files on our NAS drives and never to cut-and-paste or drag-and-drop. I'm wondering: why?Is there a file integrity issue when using cut-and-paste or drag-and-drop that doesn't exist when you copy-and-paste? Is there a serious issue that can develop if you cut or drag?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been having the following problem off and on for some time:
When I try to copy/paste files and folders in windows XP explorer (or in the desktop or a program's dialog box), windows wants to re-install one of the programs I have already installed on my computer or that I installed once upon a time.
Currently this is happening with Roxio Easy media Creator 7, but in the past it has happened with many other programs, such as MS Office, Roxio and some other shareware programs.
When I hold down my left mouse button and drag across a word or words to copy and paste, the text "sporadically" highlights. This happens in Notepad, in a webbrowser (Firefox), bascially anywhere there is text you may want to copy.xFor emaple, if I want to copy the sentence above and I start at the beginning of the sentence, here's what happens:1) Sometimes it will "highlight" everything as I drag but then goes away once I let go of the left button2) Sometimes it skips letters or words. Eventhough I start at the "W" in When, it misses a few letters or words entirely.

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.

I killed the one that was taking up the most memory usage and the computer was slightly better... in Paint, I could actually use the Pencil tool without lagging, but the scrolling and paintbucket was laggy still.
