how to fix clipboard when it does not copy and paste

Question

I cannot copy and paste on my computer. When I open the clipboard viewer and copy some text it shows up in the clipboard viewer but disappears right away.

I have Windows XP SP3. A friend of mine found a article somewhere that said when the remote assistance is checked it affects the copy and paste function. I have unchecked this. Also I downloaded a program called Logmein tried to uninstall it but cannot. I uninstalled it through Add/Remove Programs and tried through Microsofts Fix it Install/Uninstall wizard but it does not show up in the list of programs. Help me please solve both problems. they may be related.

Thanks

Benjamin

Answer 4

I had a big problem with Office 365 clipboard that is finally resolved, but Office Support never located the problem after many chat/desktop-sharing sessions. The clipboard would copy 'text only' and no images, but now works perfectly. The issue was the installation of a new firewall. The solution was to set firewall permissions for Office 365 and the Office clipboard began working fine.

I will be sure to do that and thank you for your help. Have a wonderful day.
