Computer Problem w/Copy & Paste...Any Ideas?

[Red Rock]

Hi,
I wasn't sure were to post this,
The Break Room is all encompassing so to the Mod's,
that is why I chose this forum.

I just got my first laptop a few months back.
At first I hated it because of the little mousepad in the middle of it,
that you have to use your fingers for.
Never really got the hang of that.
Then I discovered The external mouse.
Now, I really like it, as long as I am using the mouse!

Well, there has been a random problem that I cannot figure out.
Once in every 5 times I get on, all of a sudden,
my copy and paste function just disappears.
I can still do everything else, use the mouse to click everything,
but I cant use the copy/paste function,
On the external mouse, and the mouse pad on laptop.
It is a real pain in the but when searching,
and grabbing a new list of domains.
I usually copy & paste them into a notebook, then ultimately copy & paste them into my cart.
So, right now I have a bunch of .info's on my notepad, that I can't do anything with.
Actually I can highlight them.
That's it.
Now I will have to just call these in, because I can't move them anywhere.
And hope that all of the spellings I give them stay correct as I relay them to a phone rep.
Now the only solution I have had is to shut the comp. down and re-start it.
But I thought I'd ask here, just incase someone else has had this problem.
Maybe there is a quick fix???
Any idea's?
Thank You,
Red Rock!

ctrl+a highlights everything
ctrl+c copies the text into the clipboard
ctrl+v paste the text from the clipboard into whatever you want
ctrl+x cuts the text from your document, useful if you want to keep your document lean

These keyboard shortcuts are not only for text, you can use them also with files

Hope this helps, i have the c&p malfunction also sometimes(but not that often than you)

Cheers,

Frank
