Cannot copy and paste from a remote desktop

I am running Vista Home Basic, 32-bit and trying to copy and paste at the back of my desktop remote connection to my computer at home.  When I connect, I checked the tab local resources and made sure the printer and clip board options have been selected.  I even checked them once to try to cheat the system, but has not worked.  Any suggestions?  It becomes quite complicated to just double tap!  He has worked in the past, but he just decided to stop working for some reason any.  Thank you!

Hi given dog,

Thanks for posting to answers.microsoft.com.

Essentially, the information on the tab local resources should have selected Clipboard.  Since you have already have this setting enabled, let me ask you a few questions:

1. are you remoting of this system from Vista to XP system? or vice versa? or Vista to Vista?  If Yes, what is the Service Pack for two revisions of Windows on the computers involved? and these systems are all recent Windows Upates installed?

2. you remember to load any software or maybe a mouse intelliport before this problem?  using a keyboard and wireless mouse?

3 do the copy and paste functions work normally on both systems outside when not involved in remote desktop?

Please let us know any information that may be necessary to help solve this problem.

Thank you

  • As Illustrator vector pen tool or allows copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator.

    In Muse design tools are very, very limited (can't even do the triangles).

    Adding that a pen tool would allow the curved lines and be vector would speed up load time vs png or JPEG.

    Please, please, please add a vector as Illustrator pen tool or allows copy and paste from Adobe Illustrator (vector lines keeping intact).

    Yes... I know it's possible, but what I would like is the ability to simply copy and paste a curvy line (as say a wave vector) directly from Illustrator in Muse and keep a path editable vector with attributes like thinknesses different line and maybe even anchor that can still be moved.

    Once the site is finished and designed, it must then only need to be transformed and optimized raster image/s (png or jpeg) to export (depending on the output (computer or Tablet). Apple's IWeb, used to have something like years ago, so I know it isn't an impossible coding exercise.

  • Bug? Quote simple copy and paste from MS Word

    I don't know if this is a bug or not. Whenever I have a copy of MS Word with single quotes (for example, it is just a 'test') and put it inside an af:inputText field, save the value in a Java bean and then retrieve it for editing, single quotes become a reversed question mark (i.e., it's just a ¿test¿) this is only the case every time I have copy the text from MS Word. Copy from Notepad or Wordpad, but also enter manually the text not produce the bug said.

    Does anyone have an idea about this problem?

    Thank you.

    ... and no, I don'think it's a bug because you are facing a character conversion, which for example also happens when copying and pasting from Word to Powerpoint

  • Impossible to copy and paste from/to XP using remote desktop

    Due to problems, I have recently reinstalled Vista on my pc.  Before the reinstall, I could access my PC using XP, using remote desktop from work to distance and copy and paste the files from XP and Vista.

    Since the reinstallation, I'm not able to copy/paste unless I have turn off UAC.  (I have progbably had turned off before, but he didn't.)  Is there a way to copy and paste them to work without disabling UAC?  Maybe some changes in the policy or registry?

    Note: I use Remote Desktop with Clipboard selected for local devices and resources.

    TIA.

    Janis

    I saw this thread earlier and it does not apply.  I would say the copy/paste of text works.  I can't copy and paste a file.  UAC seems to be the key here.

    I found a work around.   I connect with a local drive.  Since the remote desktop, I can copy files to the local disk, which then I have the file available locally and I can go other directions.  It's a little slow, but it works for now.

  • Cannot copy and paste the content of an email from browser AOL9.5

    Windows 7 can not / not to highlight, or cut and paste using aol9.5 which is compatible with Windows 7. HP will not help me. Hope the forum will, like MS wants $49 to talk to me. New computer, about to come back and continue to use the old XP. Thank you.
    In an email, I can 'select all' and copy and paste, but if I want a part of this opportunity and send someone else, only 'PART' of this same mail via via cut and paste, it doesn't allow me to do.  I have included for the forum, my chat session with HP that has not helped me...

    If I send you an email and then I want someone to send the same email, but with less content that what I sent you, cut and paste highlights the whole email and not just the portion I want to send to the other party. I have to use the delete button to make it work properly.  Below is the response from HP.

    I understand your concerns. In this case, I'm afraid to say because this content is available to the web browser in line, we can not able to perform the cut dough. If we need to send content limited from the particular email, in this case, you can copy paste the documents to any word in the document then right a new email and send the details according to your requirement.

    Hi Gail,

    At this point, I suggest to launch Internet Explorer and check to see if you are able to copy and paste the content of the emails. If you are able to accomplish the task uisng Internet Explorer, it could be possible that some features of AOL9.5 do not work as expected, and you would like to get in touch with AOL, to solve the problem.

  • InDesign crashes suddenly then copy and paste from Illustrator...

    This is a really recent thing that never happened before, it's bugging the hell out of me, and google offers no solution so far...

    I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and InDesign + Illustrator CS2

    (It's software company Adobe CS4 or CS3 update is not an option)

    My problem is I'm trying to paste a code bar created in a program called "Easy Creator barcode" in an Illustrator document and vectoriser vectorize then the bar code, copy it and paste it into an InDesign document.

    Everything works fine until I have switch from windows from Illustrator to InDesign document - when I try to paste the code barcode described in the InDesign document, it breaks down just InDesign.

    The strange thing is, the two first bar code copied and pasted with zero problems. When I tried to paste the following, the crash has begun.

    I checked my preferences and checked the permissions of drive, but in vain.

    I don't know what is happening, but to do a quick sort as I have a date deadline for a catalog of this week!

    If anyone has any ideas, tips or solutions they would be greatly appreciated!

    See you soon

    If you have already converted to outlines, there are no police who could be replaced or fail to be integrated in the placed art, so a user error cannot cause a problem that would not also be possible with a pasted graphic.

    But if you stick to keep your job, keep your job. Try to make a copy of the file, then export to .inx and open and save as a new .indd. See if that fixes Watt is screing things up.

  • I can't find my Clipboard when I am on my emails in order to copy and paste from email to other sites

    I can access my emails but when I need to copy a line or user name to leave an e-mail to another, or even copy anything on the web from a Web site to a page I can't access the Clipboard. Previously, there was a toolbar in the top left of my screen that says edit and when I click it it asked me if I wanted to copy or paste. Now I can not find anything.i need to try and copy a user name of my e-mail address to another Web page for access. The username assigned by society is confusing vedry and uponmy enter directly, it will not, but if I copy and paste does.that why I need to get this going

    You can use Ctrl + c to copy and Ctrl-v to paste.  Another thing you could check is display-toolbars, check to the Clipboard.

  • cannot copy and paste in windows 7

    I can't copy and paste to and from three different applications since the upgrade of Windows Vista 64 - Bit of Windows 7 (64-bit).  These features have worked in applications before the upgrade.  These applications are all WYSIWYG web design programs.  These programs are 1.0 Version of NVU, Kompozer (4 different versions) and Amaya Version 11.3.1. None of the functions work copy and paste in these programs in the normal start to fashion, but all copy and paste functions work properly in these programs when the computer is started in Mode safe mode with network support. I have five different word-processing programs on the computer and I can freely copy and paste without ANY problem between these programs.  I can also copy and paste files into the Windows folder without any problem. However, I can't copy or paste to or from applications of word processing in the three programs that presenting a malfunction.  Can't copy programs with a malfunction in one of the word processors.  Word-processing programs include Wordperfect X 4, Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft Works 9.0, Windows 7 Notepad and Wordpad in Windows 7.  I disabled the anti virus program and its firewall.  The Windows Firewall is disabled. I run to my firewall and virus CA Security Suite 10.  I also tried to go through all three of the defective programs in each Windows of Windows 98SE Windows Vista SP2 Compatibility Mode.  I called HP Tech support and they had me to remove the following file in the Windows registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\appinit_dlls.

    Then, they had me look for a file (plow... or something similar) which is not found in the Windows\System 32 folder.  When this file is not found in the System 32 directory, I am told that I had a problem with MALICIOUS software.  After getting off the phone with them I did a full scan using Windows Defender and it did not find any problem.  After completing the analysis Windows Defender, I ran a full scan of the computer using the program CA Security Suite Virus Scan and it did not find any problem.  It makes no sense to me that copy and paste in these applications will work in Mode safe mode but not in Normal Mode.  As a digression, WordPerfect X 4 caused an error Code 38 when I tried to open it in Mode safe (it works fine in normal mode).

  • Cannot copy and paste of Transitions in Adobe first Pro CC

    Hello. I'm having some trouble copying and pasting transitions in Adobe first CC.

    With my video track selected (V1), I select a transition from end of clips (in this case "Dissolution") and am able to go in Edition > copy.

    However, if I select another element on the same video track (V1) and reached the ICT where I want to place the transition, I am unable to paste it. The Edit > option paste is grayed out so I can't select it (see below).

    I have tried everything and can't figure out how to copy and paste the transitions at all. Command-C and command-V also does nothing. Again, I have the same video track selected "V1".

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Screen Shot 2016-06-02 at 4.00.19 PM.png

    Do not select the clip you want to paste your transition, choose rather the point break (end of the clip) where you want the transition to go:
