I upgraded Vista to Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. All seemed well for several weeks. Suddenly yesterday, she informed me she can no longer cut and paste. I have found several repair threads for XP and Vista, but nothing specific for Windows 7. Everything I have checked from the other threads does not seem to be the issue. Any thoughts on what to check for Windows 7 would be appreciated.

Hi,Do you mean the "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V" do not work even in Notepad? When right click on a file, does the "Copy" item show up?Is there any newly installed software or applications? Have you scaned virus recently?You can create a new account on the PC to check if the user profile is corrupt:1. Click the Start Button, and then click Control Panel. 2. Click switch to a Classic View in left panel. 3. Double-click User Accounts.4. Click Manage another account.Note: Please click Continue if the User Account Control (UAC) window prompts. 5. Click "Create a new account".6. Type in the account name and select choose an account type (For Example: Administrator or Standard user). Then, click Create Account.Also trysystem restore to get back to the day before this issue happens.
