Copy and paste stops working. Restarting the computer doesn't help for more than 4 or 5 uses.

Chosen solution

Are you using the menu commands in Firefox for Copy & Paste?

Or are you using the the keyboard commands in Windows 7; { Ctrl & V } for Paste and { Ctrl & C } for Copy?

Or doesn't it make a difference which you use?

Does this happen only in Firefox or in other programs as well ?

Please find the Dos Command Prompt and Right Click it and Run As Administrator Type : SFC /SCANNOW ( SFC<space>/SCANNOW ) then enter. Reboot after if problems found.

Actually, I hadn't thought of using the key board. That SEEMS to do the trick, but we'll see after a while. Thanks for the tip. That was really helpful.
