Windows Clipboard Issue

[sparker781]

I managed to copy clipboard.exe from an old XP box and pasted it into system32. I have copied something however when I got to paste it, nothing happens. The clipboard viewer says there is something on the clipboard however it's not pasting. Kind of a weird issue....

Thoughts?

Not that weird, really.

Some 7 users can get it to work, some can't, maybe this will help explain, and offers a fresh copy of Clipboard, like it says though you may have to install the whole package in Windows XP/SP2 compatibility mode, not just the .exe file.

I would remove or rename clipboard.exe before you install that fresh copy.
