Clipboard forgets Contents

[Guest FGarvin]

I have a User who is using the clipboard function (Copy/Paste) where she

needs to continually use the same information over and over. She copies the

information once and the clipboard should retain that information until she

copies something else. Well, for some reason, the clipboard is forgetting the

data after a few minutes (it is not a consistent time) without copying

anything else. I can find no reason for this to happen. Any Ideas?

There is probably some other application that makes use of the clipboard. If

you launch clipbrd.exe and keep its frame partly visible then you can see

when exactly the "disappearing act" happens. Make sure to click

"Window/Clipboard".

Some of the older versions of Microsoft Works Suites can cause this -

when you start Word it clears the clipboard.

While not a fix, I thought you might like this:

 

ClipX 1.0.3.8 109 KB (Freeware)

http://bluemars.org/clipx/

 

"/

ClipX is a tiny clipboard history manager. It is

sweet, it is free, use it. Use the system tray

icon to restore your old clipboards. Use a hotkey

to paste them directly inside your favorite editor.
