Maybe the following setting has been changed.

Tools>options>advanced>security>custom level and under miscellaneous see that "Drag and drop or copy and paste" is checked enable.

I'm sorry but i am pretty computer retarded, what program do i go into that menu in?

[nickster_uk]

In Internet Explorer:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level -> Misc.

does CTRL+V and CTRL+C still work?

i had this happen to me a while back (sometimes every now and then) not sure what causes this but a reboot fixed it.

thanks for all the help, i finally got it to start working again after several reboots over several days, and no ctrl-c/ctrl-v did not work, it was a pain in the ***

Go for Start-->Run-->services.msc in the right pane
Try to start/ Restart the following services
1.Network DDE DSDM.
2. Network DDE.
3.Clipbook.
Restart the system . Now you will able to copy and paste.

Hi, I'm actually having the same problem. Last week I got hit with some sort of virus, which I think may be the sasser worm or blaster or something. I'm not really a technical person so I don't know. But for whatever reason all of my "human interface devices" or whatever they're called (printer, scanner, speakers, etc.), internet connections, and copy/paste and I'm sure a whole bunch of other things have been disconnected. I was thinking about trying to back up my data on an external harddrive and then wipe the computer's memory, but I can't copy/paste anything, so I tried it with a CD and that didn't work either.

So then I searched around online and found this site, but when I check services.msc and try to restart clipbook/network DDE DSDM/DDE, when I right click on these things, they're all grayed out, so I can't restart any of them!

Any idea what to do?
