Unable to Cut and Paste

This problem is most often created by a bad installation (or corruption) of MS Internet Explorer & its desktop features. Go to Add\Remove Programs in Control Panel and choose MSIEX.X and then select remove desktop update. If this does not work try going to the directory where MSIE is installed and run the setup application and remove the desktop udates. You can then reinstall them and everything sould be fine.

did this just happen or has it been like that for a while? and what version of windows 95 do you have? though cut and paste functions are explorer.exe functions installing IE won't always fix that problem. i had that problem too and that only way igot it to work again was to upgrade to 98

Corruption of files is the most likely problem, but copying the installation files on top of the original installation does not always work (even though it is the easiest thing to try). Check the ini files and registry for errors with Norton Utilities, or Microsoft Regedit. If you can't find the problem, make a full backup, then reinstall Windows in the same directory.
If all else fails, reinstall Windows to a new directory.

Hello
I had this problem on one of my user's machines. What i had to do to correct this was to uninstall microsoft office. Then from the office cd go to the valuepack folder and run office clean and choose the setting to clean and remove everything. Also go back in the program files(c:\program files) if the microsoft office folder is still there delete it. then reinstall microsoft office. For some reason this will fix the problem even if you cant cut and paste in other applications.
