I'm having the same problem with cut/copy & paste from Word 97 into Vista's
windows mail. I received an update 2 weeks ago, and I belive this is the
first time I've tried the function since. Call me paranoid, but is this a
strong-arm tactic by Gates&Co to get me to buy a word upgrade?

Apparently very few users are experiencing the copy/paste failure.
(I'm not.) If this problem began after installing IE8, uninstall it:

I have not installed IE 8, and am unable to copy/paste into email either. I have tried using yahoo mail, hotmail, and others and it doesn't seem to make a difference. The same "Internet Explorer has experienced a problem and will shut down" occurs with any program.

Can you think of any changes or updates that occurred about the
same time this problem started?

Sorry, we don't know of a fix at this time. All you can do is attach the invoice
as an attachment. One user said he could paste text into the Cc address line,
and then cut & paste from there.
Have you installed IE8 recently?

No IE8 , I did receive alot of updates on 4-20-09 and ever since I have had
this problem. Please find a cure! I updated my virus protection to Norton 360
after the problems started thinking maybe I had a virus or worm on the
computer but it is still happening.

No, it's not a virus or a worm. Quite a few people started having the same
problem at about the same time, so we suspect it was one of the updates
that caused it. It probably wasn't one of the monthly Windows updates since
those were distributed on April 15th.
Can you tell us which updates you received on the 20th? Go to Windows Updates
and click on "View update history".
