Vista will not paste anymore

I am running SP1 64-bit. I am an experienced Windows user and Vista ha
been working fine for >1 year

In the last couple of weeks I suddenly lost the ability to paste. I
I cut or copy a string (browser, notepad, whatever) and try to paste i
(CTRL+V) all that comes out is a single blank space

This seems like a very basic problem but I searched the forum and coul
not find a similar issue. Any suggestions on how to track down th
problem

Hi,

Did you try System restore?
Click Start button, right-click Computer, choose Properties.
A new window will appear. In the left panel, click System protection.

Choose a restore point from before the date your trouble started.

If this does not help you, see a doctor.

Kind regards,

Rob.

what did you change or install before the problem started?
Doing a system restore to a time before the problem started would be one
way.

I could never figure out what specifically caused it...but yes, Syste
Restore got it working again

Thanks for the suggestion
