Clipboard is Breaking

[Guest Will]

I have an ongoing problem connecting from a Windows XP client to a terminal

server in administration mode on a Windows 2000 server where the clipboard

works after I connect the RDP client, but after a few minutes the clipboard

stops working. I try to copy something from the Windows XP client and it

no longer is transferred to the Windows 2000 TS Host's clipboard.

 

I can simply disconnect, reconnect, and the clipboard works again. Three

to 10 minutes later, it breaks again. The pattern is infinitely repeatable.

 

Is there some setting on either client or host that would keep the clipboard

intact? Is there a third party application that might act as a clipboard

enhancement that would give me some additional capability here?

When clipboard pasting doesn't work anymore, is rdpclip.exe still

running, or has it crashed?

Check if this helps:
