At this point, I expect the IE7 update (KB944533) may be the issue..
1a. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided
by an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot
Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any
third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall.
NB: Do not connect the machine to the internet without the Windows Firewall
enabled!!
1b. Also disable Automatic Updates temporarily (Control Panel | Automatic
Updates).
NB: You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else online (e.g.,
browsing; reading email; chatting) except #3-#5 below until your anti-virus
application has been re-enabled! If you're running ZA Free firewall, you
may need to uninstall it instead of disabling it.
2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB944533)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)
and reboot.
3. Confirm that the copy/paste issues does NOT persist. Don't do ANYTHING
else online! Even if the issues do persist, proceed as follows...
4. Re-do #1 above.
5. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates
offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates
category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's
additional security.
6. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1a and #1b above is enabled again and,
if applicable, disable the Windows Firewall and enable your third-party
firewall.

pa bear,
problem first displayed when I attempted to copy part of a received e mail
and paste it into a "new message"
I have not tried the uninstall route, yet.
these are the auto updates installed, that I question, all since friday.
could this be a driver problem?
KB936782 media player 11 update
KB943055 security update xp
KB939683 media player 11 update
KB944533 security update, IE7
KB929399 media format 11 sdk
KB941569 security update xp w/media format runtime 9.5 and 11
KB946026 " " "
KB890830 malicious software removal tool
KB939683 media player 11 update
What are you copy/pasting when it doesn't work?
What updates did you install on the 15th? Did they include an upgrade to
IE7?
If you uninstall the updates via Add/Remove Programs, does the behavior
persist?
Please see this page http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm then post back to this
thread with the information we'd need to be able to assist you properly.
