    Am unable to cut, copy or paste - can't clear clipboard
    My windows professional xp and outlook and word have all worked fine until now. Suddenly I can't cut, paste or copy. I have checked out other posts and they suggest clearing clipboard. But that section "Clear All" on clipboard is greyed out. None of the advice from mthe other answers help. Anyone out there who can help, please?

    This is an ms article about it:
    Error message when you try to paste data into Excel 2003 during a Terminal Services session: “Cannot empty the clipboard”
    This is an easier to understand thread in another forum:
    HelpLine: Clipboard error

    Hey Cogs! Thanks foir the info. I looked for rdpclip.exe, but it was not in my Process Menu. However I did try pasting and copying, and miraculously they are working again. Maybe because I ran a registry clean tool yesterday. Anyway... thanks for the answer, and please call on me to help you if the need arises.
