I recently purchased a Windows 7 Professional 32-bit Dell computer. I cannot find the clipboard on the OS. Maybe it didn't come with one. If so, is there a Microsoft site where I can download a clipboard and install it on this machine? I'd appreciate any information you can offer here.

Unlike XP, the clipboard cannot be viewed in Windows 7. You need a copy of clipbrd.exe from an XP computer. It is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32. Copy it into the same folder in Windows 7 and to run it, click the Windows Orb (Start), type clipbrd and press Enter.
Windows 7 has a clipboard, just not a clipboard viewer.
Screen shots are taken the same as former Windows.
Prt Scr or Shift Prt Scr then paste to where ever you want.
A better solution in my opinion is to use the Snipping tool.
Type Snipping into the start search box and hit enter.
im so lost so i dont have a clip board my real question is how do i take a screen shot and email it i can see the button i just dont know how to use it pls help

If using MS Word 2007 or 2010, Clipboard is under Home tab. Click on it, will see clipboard content. Google search is also having problem with Clipboard. People open new tab, select "Search with Google". the search automatically inserted the clipboard content in the search field. Google still does not have a fix for it.
Hello MicroSoft,
Just a simple question... if so simple is the solution with fixing the clipboard issue which must cost alot of stress and production loss when you find yourself having to powercycle 5 times a day your computer... why ohhhhh why don't you push fix through windows update... if this happens to millions of users and companies, try to quantify or just imagine the losses ... a little consideration for yout customers would be highly appreciated.
