I am unable to right click and copy and paste text from one place to another in DVDP.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I am running Win 7.

Thanks, Jim

Make sure no open hidden dialogue boxes open, such as a message box. Sometimes they will hide behind the main screen and steal focus. Win 7 or Win 8 should be no issues.

Also make sure it is only affecting DVDP - does it work in notepad?

Had a similar problem on a customer's machine, but with IE9 and Open Office, no idea what causes it.
But, with this additional information, it's more likely to be a IE9 and/or Win glitch.

Check what happens if you change the browser to Opera.

Just to understand if it's really a similar problem here's the error-scheme that I have:

- In the beginning everything is OK.
- Open any page within your browser and copy a text (Either by right-click, or by CTRL+C)
- Result: Paste becomes unavailable in context-menu, CTRL+V doesn't work either.
- After this neither CTRL+V, nor context-menu "Paste" is working within the affected program even after copying content from a different source.

- This procedure is not even reproducible, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

Is this about what you have too?

It has been my experience that most of the time, a new install or an update of some kind, most of the time unrelated to the programs being affected, is the culprit. If you have the time, you could make a restore point where you are now; go back to a previous restore point before the problem started, one install or update at a time and see if you can pinpoint which app or update caused it to start.

This can sometimes be messy, but can help you find the source of the problem.

If you haven't installed any new apps or updated anything, then you may have changed some obscure setting within your system or the browser(s) that has affected this.

Another possibility is that your system is in the throws of or getting ready to have a more serious issue.

These are of course all conjecture as I'm not in front of your computer looking for the issue. Until the beginning of this year, when I semi retired, I was in IT for years buying, setting up and maintaining Macs and PCs. Just so you don't think I'm talking out my orifice.

I have gone back to a restore point and still had the problem.

I give up!

I uninstalled all updates back an month with no results.

Have found out that my problem only occures when a net brouser is open.

Once it is closed paste works again.

I tried installing an older version of DVDP same problem.

I think my only option is to reinstall windows.
