Re: Copy Paste just stops working - have to reboot

Chris,

This has to do with some application that's having a lock over the Windows
Clipboard. David Candy's application should determine the Process that's
causing the problem.

Download GetOpenClipboardWindow.zip from here:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/temp/GetOpenClipboardWindow.zip

Unzip and run the tool. Post back what it reports. For best results, run
this utility during the time you encounter the Copy<=>Paste problem.

We have over 150 PCs in our organization - and two of our users experience
the copy / paste function in windows and office just stops working all of a
sudden - we cant find a pattern, and the only way to fix is reboot -
sometimes fixes it for days, sometimes, just a couple minutes. Thoughts?
