This is very unusual... I'd suspect a virus... still: how do you try to copy? Are you using CTRL+C and CTRL+V? Or right-click options? Where are you trying to copy from? Some programs, webpages, documents do not allow any copying function.

Have you tried copying anything else - like writing something in a Word document and trying to paste it in another? Please provide more details.

Oh, and I think that this thread should be moved to the "Do-It-Yourselfers" section...

Yup, pretty sure it's a virus... Run a virus scan and hopefully you'll find the "intruder". Otherwise, you might have to format your hard drive or reinstall windows or go to a specialist...

I can't be 100% sure of this, but it's my best guess at the moment.

It was most likely a virus. However, that problem is not always caused by a virus. Sometimes just rebooting your machine will allow you to cut-n-paste again.

If you had already tried to reboot and still had the problem, you can bet it was a virus. If you only rebooted after installing your anti virus from download.com, and before you ran the scan, you can't be sure it was a virus.

The main thing is, it is fixed. If it happens again, just try rebooting first. I have an older machine (virus free) and the same thing happens about 1-2 times a month. I reboot and it works just fine again.

The reason I was pretty sure it was a virus is that there was a message when trying to paste - "Hello". If it was a Windows problem, there wouldn've been such a message.

....unless the last thing you pasted was "Hello". If it did not "paste" and showed that "message" instead, then it definitely was a virus.

I'd keep doing scans (both for viruses and spyware) on a regular basis. Weekly or so... good practice to get into.
