Vista - copy and paste

copy and paste

My paste facility seems to have broken. It doesn't matter if I use ctrl v, or
right click and paste all I get is a tab space rather than the text that I
had copied. This seems to be affecting all programmes, but especially Outlook
email, MSN and the internet explorer browser. I've tried rebooting, but
nothing changes. I can copy and paste files.

Are you selecting what you want to copy> Then Ctrl+C to copy> then Ctrl+V to
paste?

RE: copy and paste

yes - it was working until earlier this evening. AFAIK I haven't changed any
settings.

Re: copy and paste


Run System Restore to a time before the problem began.
