Pasting not clearing clipboard in Vista

[ShawnaW]

Can you provide some more details?

Like what you have tried and which laptop you have?

It is Pavilion notebook model DV 6308nr and it was repaired by HP last Fall because of it running too hot and it was completely redone then so I don't really know if this problem just started or is ongoing since the hard drive was scrubbed.

I do a copy/paste to any program and instead of it just adding it once, it continues to paste the same item time after time and never clearing out for new copying.  Very frustrating.  I see there is no "clipboard" in Vista now and did try to just paste a blank space into documents which worked but really would like to cure this problem for good.

Could it be as simple sa.. like mine, what ever i   "copiy"  whether i pasted it or not..  stays untill I  "copy"  sometrhing else, like over writes it?

I always thought it was the norm.. is it?

When you use copy then paste it is supposed to clear that out until you copy/paste again with new information.  Mine keeps copying the first thing I copied and does not clear out to replace it with something else as it should.  In XP you could visualize the clipboard but not in Vista.

Generally a c/p will stay in resident in that particular click until you create a new function . That is the basic function of c/p the ability to repeat as many times as needed,I believe that has been fairly constant for Win2k, xp and vista.

You might want to search for information on the The Microsoft  office clipboard if you would like more features.
