I noticed I can't copy and paste like XP from the internet, so what am I not doing correctly?

Welcome to the sevenforums Audioman1!

Precisely what are you trying to copy and, when you say "paste from the Internet" ... where are you trying to paste it. What apps?

 

[Audioman1]

I tried a couple of words, I tried a link to another site, all I get is a little blue box with a arrow in it.
It works in here

So when you highlight the text and then right click on it, does a menu come up?

 

[Audioman1]

Now I can't do it in here. so I guess it's a bug in my O/S I just changed mice too.

 

[Audioman1]

No Menu

When you right click an IP address you don't get this?

 

[motc7]

This is weird.

Check your mouse settings in your control panel. Sounds like your not setup correctly.

Do you mean this:



It is a shortcut to IE8 accelerators. When you choose or highlight something in IE8, clicking this symbol allows you to sent the higlighted content to different applications called accelerators.

Have a look at the tutorial at the link below to see if it'll find any corrupt files to start.

When you have highlighted some text, move the pointer back on top of the highlighted text (not on top of that arrow symbol!) and right click. Context menu opens, and you can copy.

Clicking (right or left) that arrow just gives you a list of available accelerators.

And this same weirdness happens on either mouse?

I ran the scan and there isn't anything wrong, I know how to C&P I been using a PC for 9 years now, I tried 2 different wireless mice, (expensive ones too) It worked for one second a little while ago but then it wouldn't paste what I copied...

I also can't install my software for my Wireless Internet Card I get a "Error Executing File , D:\utility\setup.exe , The Requested Operation Requires Elevation".
