Copy and paste not working

Hi

I have Vista Ultimate, when I select files in a folder then copy and paste
them to a different folder, NOTHING happens.

When I drag and drop them it works, any ideas how I can fix this?

thanks

Daniel

Do you use right-click: copy or cut, and paste, or edit?

Reboot and try again. Your clip board may be stuffed.

Rebooting did not fix it, the problem has been there since I formatted and
reinstalled Vista a couple of weeks ago.
