Cannot copy and paste with the mouse

I use VM Player 2.5.2 on MS Windows XP, my comment system is Centos 5.2.

For some reason I can't use the mouse to copy and paste.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Vitaly

Hello

Html in your xorg.conf file breaks are weird

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection<br><br><br>

I also note that there are no entries in there for a mouse that either.

Attached is my xorg.conf centOS file, make a backup of the file you are using now and try this one instead.

  • 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

  • Impossible to copy and paste after the installation of updates

    Installed the updates this morning and now unable to copy a Web page and paste it in microsoft works. Can I use another program, but I'm not a happy camper. It tells me that I should not always immediately install new updates due to problems of this kind. I got burned by updates in the past, but it has been awhile. Everyone must wait at least a week or two before you install these updates.

    Hi Edw276

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems after an update.  In order to help you further, we would require a bit more information.

    When you try and copy, the copy function appears if you right click on the selected text?

    Do you receive an error message when you try to copy and paste?

    You can copy from another application, such as Notepad in the works?

  • What happened to the feature to get around on the artboard by pressing the space bar and dragging with the mouse?

    What happened to the feature to get around on the artboard by pressing the space bar and dragging with the mouse?

    cwalker,

    If it does not, it may be time for the list:

    Sometimes, (some) things may fail or stop working for no apparent reason. When (other) possible reasons/remedies do not work, it is perhaps a kind corruption (temporary or permanent), or even preference settings which disturbs, which can be cured with something on the following list put in place in order to provide a catch-all solution for otherwise intractable cases. It starts with a few easy suggestions and safe) 1 and 2) for cases less serious and goes two ways 3) and 4) to reset the default preferences (easily but irreversibly and more laboriously but more completely and also reversible), then follows a list 5) various other possibilities, and it ends with a complete reinstallation 6). If no other suggestion doesn't work, or if no other suggestion appears, you can start on the list and decide how to go or who can apply.

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically may be corrupted/inconvenient preferences); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    6 (A) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences, if any), B) run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) and C) reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

HP support has tried to access remotely to identify the problem without success. Y at - it another option in addition to a factory reset or restore point? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi jdavis33811,

    Have you tried the three methods of cutting and pasting? Using the keyboard shortcuts CTRL-X CTRL-V, right click on the file and selecting cut, then using the tape from the file Explorer / File menu.

    If you have tried all three, the next thing to try is a boot minimum to see if something is in the background to block the order. A clean boot loads Windows with the drivers and the minimal software. This link of Support technique Microsoft will show you how do it.

    Once you have made the clean boot try three methods of cutting and pasting. If it works the next step is to go back to msconfig (see Microsoft link above) and enable half the services you shut-off valve to the clean boot. Then try to cut and paste again. Keep half of the remaining services that allows until you cannot cut and paste, then disable half of the services that you just active. This, until what specify you what service has problem.

    If after all that you still have a problem then the next step would be to backup your files on an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then doing a complete System Recovery.

  • The mouse opens several windows on click & cannot copy or paste in the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: I am running XP and I have problems with my mouse.

    I use a Gateway 510 series computer and has a real problem with the mouse. If I click once, I often bring up several windows. Some existing time windows will disappear and not selected windows appear. Copy and paste are almost impossible to do. On the Panel, I tried to click up and down speed adjustment with nothing doesn't. It is especially annoying on the internet using IE8 and Firefox. Can anyone offer possible solutions?

    It turns out that my mouse was bad. My brother had a spare and gave it to me to try. Which corrects the problem. Thank you for your response.

  • 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... He talked about IE and I'm not on IE, I use aol9.5. So thank you and hope someone can help me.  Here's the question/conversation.  Thanks for your time in advance.   Gail

     
    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.

    Please visit the below mentioned link for help on AOL products:
