Impossible to COPY or PASTE in any Application in the home edition of Windows XP - SP2-

Hi - I am running Windows XP HOME EDITION SP2 and had this problem for almost a year without anyone able to help me solve this problem

I am unable to COPY or PASTE in any application (IE, CHROME, MS WORD, NOTEPAD, WORDPAD, etc.)
I ran SFC/scannow several times and still no resolution
My laptop is free of virus and malware... NO VIRUSES, NO MALWARE
What system files or DLLs are associated with being able to COPY / PASTE?
I can CUT but not PASTE
Thanks - Derek

OK, this is totally weird, I just went to CP - INTERNET OPTIONS - SECURITY TAB, CUSTOM LEVEL and changed "Do drag OR copy and paste files" Enable PROMPT

and now I can copy and paste.
We'll see how long it lasts for
I went there before and changed to ENABLE DISABLE, OUTPUT AND THEN CHANGE BACK to ACTIVATE, and which never helped before

  • 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.

  • Impossible to copy and paste

    I can't copy and paste, either with the keyboard shortcuts in the menu. I tried to paste it from another application, and it works when I paste in Paint, but not in the elements. I tried to copy the elements and I choose, but Ctrl + C does not everything which can be pasted into paint. In fact, all items related to the Clipboard on the Edit menu are always shaded.

  • Impossible to copy or paste in Dreamweaver CC

  • Lenovo A3500-HV, impossible to install any application after the upgrade to Android 4.4.2

    Yesterday, I warned that a new update is available for my A7-50 A3500-HV Lenovo tablet. I downloaded a 1.1 GB file and leave it to install the Tablet Android 4.4.2

    First of all, I found that I am not able to certain actions. For example, I'm not able to select checkboxes. Then a bigger problem appeared. Now I can not install any application and when I try to do, it is not possible to remove the button install. However Cancel button works correctly.

    How to solve this problem? There is another current patch?

    SOLVED!

    I had to reset to factory settings after upgrade. However, it was so painful, that I did it and just solved the problem.

  • 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.

  • Impossible to copy and paste of XI

    I must say that I am so sorry, I have improved. I just paid the Bank $3.00 per month for statements. The only thing I use the program for is to read the docs, such as title 5 California. The only thing I do is sometimes copy and paste a small part of some codes I am a student. When I try to do that all I get when I paste a bunch of squares. That's all that is pasted to the Clipboard too. Document security is: no security and the only things not authorized are retrieval Assemby Document and page regardless of those who are. So how can you copy / paste an article?

    Ruth

    Certainly there is something wrong with the PDF, but since you probably did not create it, there is nothing you can do about it.

    I'll try this weekend to develop a method how you can have two versions of work of reader XI and X or 9.x

  • If Firefox is set as the default browser and any application tries to open a new window, it doesn't work and I get the error "Firefox is already in running... »

    Here's what I'm running:
    Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1, fully updated to 04/10/2012
    New installation of Firefox 11. No add-on enabled following troubleshooting.
    I am a user has administrator rights
    SAMU is disabled.

    For starters, this has happened since Firefox 10 or more. A couple of months now.

    I am able to open Firefox. My modules worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, extension of 4chan) had no problem. Firefox is defined and has been fixed for the past two years as my default browser.

    But since about 10 or so, maybe Firefox before, if I opened a session of Firefox and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running but not responding do not error. »

    I tried to follow the advice of already posted troubleshooting (glance to parent.lock files left [no date], several sessionstore.js [no date] files, create a new user profile, has tried to erase the 'read only' permission in windows 7, but as soon as it is cleared, only read permission back.)

    As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the directory %APPDATA%/Mozilla in its entirety and then used CCleaner to remove all references to Firefox in the windows registry, and then made a complete re - install, without extensions installed right now.

    I checked the preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked. The problem persists without worrying if this option is checked or not. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the new facility.

    Test case:

    All cases:
    Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7

    Case 1: Log in to firefox. Use any other program that is trying to open a link to their Web site in a new window browser or the new browser session. "Firefox is already running" error

    Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox in the taskbar. Select 'open in new window '. "Firefox is already running" error

    Case 3: Open a session of firefox. Select the Firefox Menu > new tab > new window. In fact, a new window opens.

    This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.
    

    Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-remote switch or have defined the MOZ_NO_REMOTE = 1 environment variable (Control Panel > system > advanced > environment variables).
