2 days ago I noticed that my copy and paste functions stopped working! I am using win xp home sp3 and I do NOT use any remote file sharing or remote apps. No new programs have been installed or removed in over a month.
I have tried using the keyboard shortcuts crtl+c and crtl+v, right click copy and paste which doesn't work and neither does the copy or paste function under the edit menu. when I highlight text I can use copy ( enabled with black text) in the edit menu, right click and hit copy or do a crtl+c but when I go to paste the text into any text document regardless if using keyboard shortcut crtl+v, right click or the edit menu, the paste function is not enabled ( grayed out)
These functions are not working in any document program on my PC nor do they work with paint shop pro or photo shop when I try to copy an image into my work image.
if there any way to fix this? I need my copy and paste functions to work again!!!
I have tried just about everything to get this to work .. restoring to the day before the issue started didn't help. My fiance is a PC tech and even he couldn't get it to work even after checking to make sure the clipboard was not full ( it was empty), reformatting is not an option as I need my PC for my job and copy and paste is a big part of my job as a graphic designer.
