copy/ paste

[rktak]

some more inputs....

SwordFish_13--------

a. though the issue is definitely similar it may not be limited just to the dial connection, because for us the issue occurs in office, network of may be more than 300-400 computers, however i've observed it on one computer at a time and next-time on some other computer, strange it may sound! (we do log on using our profiles, sometimes roaming profiles and sometimes on local computer however the applications are definitely local, have not tried
deleting profiles, that again would be equivalent to restarting the computer, so no way of checking whether that resolved it!?)

b. the hyperlinks not working issue was successfully taken care of by clearing cache, cookies and temp files..... in another case restarting didn't took care of it so cleared them in safe mode and that worked!!!! and yes, nihil, using the address bar definitely loads the page in case hyperlink doesn't work....

c. your observation may help, have not tried disconnection the network cable, to check whether going offline that makes the difference, will try that in case issue reoccurs

d. you are the only person, i know, who is able to reproduce this issue, try checking clip board for any corrupt data being pasted and also try clearing the clipboard


Und3ertak3r--------

a. yes i agree with SwordFish_13, the issue is across all applications in OS be it office applications like word, powerpoint etc or the win applications like notepad and IE

b. the paste option is available in the menu however the text is not being pasted, at the maximum it may paste a "space" instead of the desired text

hope this helps

hi

rktak -> Don't give up hope i am still working on it .....any updates buddy .........

In my case in the right Click menu Copy and cut are enabled but the paste option is gread out.

Symptoms most likely of blaster but the thing is can't find blaster on ths computer......thats really weird

wheneve i connect to internet just after the connection is complete the CPU and memoru used goes to maximuf for a few seconds then every thig back to normal and after few randsom time period Copy / paste dies........and i checked no new process/program is started during that perod...maybe it's some existing process or some process that is named similar to the legit proceses........it's making me crazy now.

I would post a hyjackThis log shortly maybe anybody can find any thign in it .

Looking forward to it anybody any Ideas

OK, here's something to try:

http://www.duxcw.com/faq/win/xp/clip.htm

Follow the instructions for activating the clipboard viewer in Win2000/XP

I am curious to know if the copy function fails or the paste function. If copy works, then there will be data in the clipboard.

Just trying to narrow it down a bit

Hi Nihil,

It's the Copy Function ..............

Try manually entering the link for one of the hyperlinks that will not work..........

By manually entering they work.....................it acts exaclty like a pop-up blocker..............what i have noticed they are those Hyperlinks that are programmed to open in a new window...........and even Right click and open in a new window command dosen't do a thing ..............and rest of the Hyperlinks work just fine

and no i don't have a Pop-up-Blocker double checked just in case

--Good Luck--

Hi SwordFish,

Try this tool and see if it does anything:

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/da...oval.tool.html

then http://registryrepair.1found.com/

There are some more here:

http://www.handyarchive.com/free/registry-repair/

Be sure to back up the Registry before you do anything with it

Hopefully that will eliminate the possibility of Blaster remnants, and anything weird in the registry.

You might like to get it to happen then run HijackThis and post the log?

Good Luck
