Clipboard Viewer does not work?

[erniehogan]

Windows XP Pro, SP2

I can copy and paste, print screen works, but the windows clipboard viewer shows nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to show me what's on the clipboard?

Cipbrd.exe normally launches two windows, one titled Clipbook Viewer, the other Clipboard. Do you see both of these windows?

Have you checked out Safe Mode, or in Normal Mode, logged on as a different user?

If this is a recent problem you could consider using System Restore to try and fix it?
