Copy/paste & middle-click stopped working; :( anybody have any ideas?

Not sure what might have happened, but they just stopped working, in both IE and Firefox, and Notepad.
Haven't tried anything else.
I'm sure it will go away if I reboot, but I have a lot of stuff going on at the moment, so I'd prefer not to, but this is annoying.
Anybody know anything I should try, short of closing my programs and/or rebooting? :/

Are using copy/paste by the mouse button or ctrl+c or ctrl+v or both? Could you try unplugging your mouse and keyboard and plugging them back in? I'm just telling you the obvious sorry but..yeah.

No copy/paste methods work.
I haven't unplugged anything, as I figured if it was affecting both the mouse and keyboard, it wasn't either of them.
I don't know how USB works, to be honest, but I'd have thought if my USB support went poo, neither of them would be working at all.
Bashing them on the table and swearing doesn't seem to have any effect either. :no:

I did a google search and alot of people get your problem but a reboot usually works. (sadly you can't do that)...After you do reboot thouh it still may not work. People have said that you would need to reboot a possible 5times to get it to work but sometimes it works right after 1 reboot. Sorry I couldn't get an answer without rebooting.

XP.
I've changed nothing.
Scans show no security problems.
Probably just left the computer on too long again.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. :(
Oh well.
I'll put up with it for awhile longer.
I definitely have to log out of here though, because IF support is next to impossible without copy/paste, and I'm going to break something if I get any more frustrated.

What did you do before it went poopy on you?
Something must have triggered it I'd have thought. :wacko:
You didn't hit an odd key combination that might have locked it? :unsure:

I didn't do anything, I swear. :/
Not sure why there'd be a key combination do disable all copy/paste and middle-click functionality either, but who knows wtf Billy Gates has going on in his head.
I'll be back in an hour or two to see if anybody's thought of anything, and if not, I'll just reboot.


Eh?
What new program?

Could the clipboard be messed up?

Start>>All Programs>>Accesseries>>System Tools> Clipboard Viewer. Does it come up correctly?


Edit:
It's kinda like Multi-Moderation. I could type 1 2 44 without spaces and:

Please see those two post if your forums or categories aren't showing up.

Automaticly comes up. Fast answering support topics without searching for the correct answer or taking time to write it all out.

Ah, I see.


Well, I apparently have no clipboard viewer, or at least, not at that location.

Well anything copied goes to your clipboard...I hope you didn't delete it because everyone is suppose to haev a clipboard :(

Could it be anywhere else?

:lol:

I do.
Just not a clipboard viewer apparently, or it's some other place.

Nevermind, I found out it's the same thing as ClipBook, which I have disabled because it's stupid.

Anyway, why would my clipboard have anything to do with the middle-click not working?
Can't middle-click tabs to close them, and can't middle-click links to open them in a new tab. :/

Clipbook should be enabled that is your copy/paste thing..at least i thought it was :/. Also I didn't know the middle clicky thing was to close tabs. I only use it to scroll. You learn something new every day...
