We are bringing on laptops with XP pro and it seems that the auto complete, and ESPECIALLY the in-line copy/cut and paste functions do not work. This is hard - esp on the web where email addresses and passwords must now be firstly remembered and then entered each time. Any tips on how to fix or turn this fuction on would be deeply appreciated.

You can enable these functions by going to control panal/internet options and clicking on the advanced tab from there check the functions you want to enable. Also if you do a lot of copying and paisting I would recomend clipmate you can get it here http://www.thornsoft.com/ this allows you to copy multiple items and paiste them later so you don't have to keep going back and forth between windows.

Does copying/pasting using the keyboard shortcuts also not work?

I find that in almost every GUI application, as long as you're able to highlight the text, you can use the shortcut for copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) almost every time.
