Windows 7 - problem using Ctrl + C to copy it to the Clipboard.

I just got a new computer with windows 7 installed. on XP I could highlight the text or bitmap images and enter a ctrl-C to copy to the Clipboard, and then ctrl + V for pasting in the Clipboard. but now on Windows7 ctrl-C is not to copy the text/images/etc. highlighted in the Clipboard. What should I do to make this the default?

From the limited information you provided, I can't tell you what to
evil in your situation, but I can tell you that Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, and
CTRL + V work in Windows 7, just as they have worked in earlier versions of
Windows.

    Hi Keung,

    1. what happens when you use screen printing in other programs?

    2. you are trying to use the screenshot on a Word file and paste on another word file?

    When you right-click and you try to paste the content on any other file, you will see only the option paste not the copy option.

    What happens when you use ctrl + V to paste the content?

    You can read the following article and check.

  • Windows 7 does not allow you to copy tapes through the USB to the computer... need help!

    I bought a cassette/converter of Grace Digital Audio Player to convert cassettes to MP3 files on my computer (HP laptop Pavilion DV 7/Windows 7 64-bit). Directions say to just plug into the USB port, press Play on the machine and press Record on the Audacity software.  It copies the music... and all the other noises in the room.  I tried to disable the microphone from the computer... but then it won't copy the music at all.  I called the manufacturer of the product through and they say it's a Windows 7 problem.  So, how can this work?  Thanks for any help you can give me...

    Hello

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

    (a) plug one end of the audio cable into the headset of your cassette player or 'Line' jack out and the other end into 'Micro' of the sound card on your computer or "Line in" jack. To avoid any possible damage sound card, use if possible 'in Line' decision and not the "Microphone".

    (b) launch Audacity and change the type of entry 'in Line' or 'Microphone', depending on what jack of the soundcard you are using. This indicates Audacity to record everything he "hears" the map of sound input. To do this, open the menu editing, then Preferences. You will then see a screen that should do what you need: use the "Device" selector to choose your entry (sound card, microphone, audio jack, etc.) and change the 'Channels' selector to choose between mono or stereo recording.

    (c) press the record button on Audacity, then press play on your cassette (red circle).

    (d) press the stop (yellow square) on Audacity when the tape is finished playing.

    (e) use the menu option "file-> export to WAV" to save your record. The WAV file can be saved on your computer, converted to MP3 or burned on a CD. Get fancy with the Audacity audio editor features: you can cut, paste and add effects easily.

    You must save a clip of ten seconds at first, so that you can play it will immediately return in Audacity (green triangle button) and make sure your volume levels is good. If the audio recorded is too strong or too static, decrease the volume of your cassette player.

  • unknown problem using WMP 12 no sound when played the song in the folder but has sound when he played in the player

    Hi all

    I have a weird problem using WMP (Windows Media Player v12).  When I double-click a song of in my library, the trail seems to play, but didn't have all the sounds.

    However, if I hover over the same path and then click Preview, the pop-up, the track plays with sound.

    When the track (s) do not play, all indications show the way to correctly play through of progress ' Now Playing ' screen, but no sound.

    In the past, when I clicked on any MP3 file, he would play using WMP.  Now, when I click on an MP3 file, it brings just "Now Playing" and looks LIKE he plays, but no sound.

    I have looked & looked for clues as to why it may be of WMP, but I can't understand the problem.  I also searched the Web for 'day' drivers in the Win System Manager, but Win says that pilots are "up to date".

    I have rebuilt the DB Library (twice) by removing the DB files in from WMP to a procedure in a WMP support forum. I also went to check the audio device in Device Mgr Win (mine is one on one). Everything seemed ok.  I also changed the devices to "Win by default" to what I think my onboard audio device is called.  I thought that that can do, but it's not.

    I was struggling with this since the day of the year.  Please help me solve this problem!

    Hi, Pie,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    Appreciate your efforts to try to resolve the problem that you have set so far. I guess that is not a problem with the driver that ultimately, the songs are playable using the media player. It could be a corrupted in Windows Media Player framework that is causing the problem. Let's run the Windows Media Player troubleshooting utility that resets all parameters to the player. Check out the link to do so:

  • How can I copy images to the Clipboard for Mac?

    Mac OS 10.10.3

    Acrobat Pro

    I was able to copy 2 Acrobat images into another application. But now, nothing of Acrobat is in my Clipboard after copying. I tried to copy and paste to other applications (after all it's fundamental features of Mac) and it works as expected. But not from Acrobat. So strange. What might stop Acrobat to copy an element of the image or text to the Clipboard?

    Hi xatom.

    Have you tried to use the snapshot tool in Acrobat? Choose Edition > take a snapshot, and then click the element on the page that you want to copy.

    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How can I access my copy and paste the clipboard history to return a paragraph?

    I was on Facebook and I cut and paste a few answers to a friends post when Facebook, remove the previous cut and paste on the wall of the person.  How can I go back in the history of the Clipboard and access a previous cut and paste paragraph?

    Rather than write it all over again from memory, it would be much faster and easier if I could recover the previous cut and paste.

    Does make sense?

    Thanks for any help.

  • composition window is suddenly using a small font (2 - pt?) -the police appear correct when sending.

    The message compose window suddenly use a small font (2 - pt?). It happened "spontaneously" when replying to a message. It happens all the time now.
    When the message is sent subsequently, the fonts are normal in size. When I increase the font size in the composition window, it seems enormous after sending.
    I use a Mac with OS 10.9.2.
    Any ideas on restoring the sizes of police in the compose window?
