Cannot paste in a cmd window

I recently lost the ability to paste inside a CMD window. I have always had this capability and can still do it from other machines. Quick Edit and Insert modes are on. I can copy and paste anwhere else in the UI. I can copy and paste within the CMD window. I just cannot copy and paste from outside the CMD window to within the cmd window. I live inside the CMD window so it is a real nuisance to have lost this. Any ideas? Also, this happens regardless of permissions. Same results on this system whether or not I have admin priivileges and happens if I run a standard cmd window or if I run as an Administrator. Does not matter whether I right click in the cmd window or Edit\Paste. When I do Edit\Paste, Paste is available and not greyed out but it does not do anything. If go to say notepad, I can paste the contents there, so I know the data is still in the clipboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One additional observation. If I disable UAC and reboot, I can then paste in the cmd window. Once I re-enable UAC I lose the ability to paste in the cmd window. I can't keep UAC disabled becasue it is against company policy. And it worked fine for over a year with UAC enabled. The has to be some registry setting or local policy that controls this. I just can't seem to find anything on it. I have found others in various forums reporting the same problem but have never yet seen any solution.

BUG: Cannot Paste in Synchronization Window

I can no longer paste SMTPE time in the sync window in L8. This is a glaring omission by whoever designed the GUI. I typically get my sync info from the transport and paste it in the sync window.

I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot find TEMP file"

Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

Cannot paste from windows (notepad) to X client

We bring up an X application GUI from Tarantella SGD and would like to copy the text from windows (notepad or excel) and paste it to the X application but paste doesn't work.
C&P works fine between xterm/dtterm and X application. But, it does not work between windows application and our X application.
Any ideas. Thank you very much.

Check to see if copy and paste is disabled on your windows terminal server's RDP-Properties.
Also, can you copy and paste from a remote Windows application session into a local application?

Cannot paste any online pictures from any websites into word/powerpoint/onenote 2013

I cannot paste any pictures/ images copied from any websites into word, powerpoint and onenote.
Now, i am so stressful because this strange problem occurs with both versions of Microsoft Office (2010 and 2013). I had updated the Microsoft Office from 2010 to 2013
with the hope that this problem will be solved in 2013 version but I was so disappointed. I was so addicted to onenote and cannot live without onenote. In the past, I always used onenote to store countless handmade-creating articles and so many other information
found on websites and other resources by simply copying (Ctrl + C) and pasting (Ctrl + V) them into onenote without any problems.
This strange problem has occurred and resisted approximate 2 months. Now I am almost going insane. I am longing for help, any help from the online community. Please!
I will describe the problem in more details.
-My laptop was Asus N550JV, and it was installed only one operating system: Window 8 single language by manufacturer. Nothing such as virtual machine or multiple operating
systems in this laptop.
-This problem occurred with all websites, not only with a certain website or a specific website.
-It occurred with all of my latest-updated web-browsers, including firefox, internet explorer (which was pre-installed by factory in my window 8), opera, safari, chrome.
-Despite of using whatever web-browsers listed above, although the whole articles (text and pictures) on these websites were copied, however there was only text pasted
successfully, excluding pictures.
-Pictures/ images were not pasted together with text. The onenote/word/powerpoint only shows a blank space where the picture should be in. If I click on this blank space,
a frame will appear covering this blank space inside, and the url address of this picture was shown. The
“drawing tools”
tab appeared instead of “picture tools”
tab. I guessed the pasted pictures were considered as drawing objects, not as pictures.
-After many unsuccessful attempts to solve this problem in Microsoft Office, some days ago I decided to install Open Office of Apache in the same laptop in order to make
a control test between the two programs. I was successfully in copying and pasting text and pictures on many websites (using whatever web-browsers I am having) into text document of Open Office without any problems. Pasting pictures and text from websites
into Open Office was successful, so that what the hell was happened with my Microsoft Office?
-If I download or save the pictures found on websites to my laptop then using the
“insert picture”
function to insert these pictures into word/ppt/onenote, these pictures were inserted successfully without any problems.
-Copying and pasting text and pictures from old articles stored in onenote to a newly created word document were successful without any problems. Copying and pasting text
and pictures between word and word, onenote and onenote were successful without any problems.
-It was concluded that this problem only occurred with online pictures pasted from websites, while inserting or pasting the downloaded pictures were successful
without any problems.
-My internet connection was not disrupted during copying and pasting processes.
-My Canon laser printer only recognized and printed the text lines, there were only blank spaces in the places where the pictures should be in.
During two months since having this problem, I have searched so many times in order to find a solution. All of solutions listed behind I already found on internet and tried
them all but nothing worked! This problem still resisted in Microsoft Office 2013 and now I am so sad and tired because of it.
List of solutions I found and tried but nothing worked:
-Right-clicking then choose "paste option: keep source formatting”
and choose “set as default paste option"
-On the
View tab of the Ribbon or on the status bar, choose
Print Layout view, not Draft view.
-Go to
Office Button | Word Options | Advanced: Show document content and make sure that
“Show drawings and text boxes on screen”
is checked and that “Show picture placeholders”
is not checked.
-Go to
Office Button | Word Options | Display: Printing options and make sure that
“Print drawings created in Word”
is checked.
-On the
Home tab of the Ribbon, locate the
Paragraph group and click the dialog launcher arrow in the bottom right corner to open the
Paragraph dialog; in that dialog, make sure that line spacing of the paragraph the picture is in is not set to an
Exact value.
-Paste the picture and immediately press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it. The picture will then be embedded in your document.
-If you find that Word hangs when you try to paste, you can instead select
Edit | Paste Special and choose “Device-independent Bitmap”
instead of the default of “HTML format.”->
I could not try this solution because my paste special options only had three choices: unformatted text, html format, unformatted unicode text.
-Select File, Options, Advanced, then under
Cut, Copy, Paste section set "insert/paste picture as”:
tight/ inline with text/ through/ square/ top and bottom/ in front of text/ behind text… -> I have tried all
choices but nothing worked.
-Rename the Normal.dot or Normal.dotm global template file: run cmd.exe and type
ren %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm OldNormal.dotm. Then type
exit, and then press Enter. Or go to C:\Users\Home\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates to rename the Normal.dot/ Normal.dotm file manually.
-Turn off the "Use draft quality" option:
Click
File, and then click Options. Click Advanced,
Under Print, click to clear the Use draft quality check box. Click OK.
-Change the view to:
Print Layout/ Full Screen Reading/ Web Layout/ Print Preview
For Word 2010-2013: Click File, and then click Print.
-Check the box for
“Print background colors and images”
at File | Options | Display: Printing options.
-Check the box for
“Show background colors and images in Print Layout view”
at File | Options | Advanced: Show document content.
-Using repairing function to repair the Microsoft office 2013.
Nothing worked! I have no clue of what have been happened with my Microsoft Office! Please help!
I cannot upload a screenshot taken from my laptop into this forum. It said that
body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account.

To Scxy1234: I also don't know why my paste special options only had 3 choices excluding "device independent bitmap'
To Steve Fan: I created the new second user account in my window 8. It was set as a standard account, not as administrator account as my first original user account. Specifically, i used the same email address with this forum account's to
create this second user account. It means that the second user account in my laptop also was a Microsoft account.
Can you guess what happened after i had logged in to the second user account? I opened some random websites by firefox, copied and pasted all text and pictures on these websites into a word document and onenote successfully without any problems!!!!
I saved this word document and exported this onenote section to a Usb. After that, i switched from second standard user account to my window administrator account and opened the two files which were saved to Usb previously. They were opened and displayed
normally as the same as what i previously had seen in the second user account, i.e. pasted text and pictures were displayed normally. However, when i opened the same web address again to copy the same text and pictures to word and onenote, there were only
text lines pasted successfully, excluding pictures! This old strange problem happened again when using original administrator account for logging in window. In contrast, when using the second standard user account to log in window, copying and pasting text
and online pictures of Microsoft office worked normally.
I truly don't figure out the reason(s) caused this strange problem. I think my case is a special case because i tried all solutions other people had tried but nothing worked.
Please help me!
p/s: when i logged in the second standard user account, i opened the paste special options in word and there were only 3 choices under paste special options, excluding "device independent bitmap"

Paste error in code window, Dreamweaver MX, v. 7.0.1

Hello, Everyone!
     I am running Dreamweaver MX, version 7.0.1 on a Dell Optiplex 990 running Windows 7. As far as I can remember, initially Dreamweaver ran properly. At some point, however, it developed a really frustrating problem. If I try to paste in the code window, an error box appears, with the following message:
While executing onLoad in CodeViewPasteFilter.htm, the following
JavaScript error(s) occurred:
In file ""CodeViewPasteFilter"":
ReferenceError: run is not defined
     I can copy from the code window and paste to the design window, and I can copy and paste within the design window (and can copy from windows of other open programs to the design window). When I try to paste in the code window, however, I get the above error. If I highlight text, I can move it to different places, but I cannot copy it and then paste it.
     I was hoping that someone would have a fix for this.
     Thank you for your help.

Thanks!
     That worked! I did have to do a bit of looking for the cache file, though, because it is in a different place, and has a different name, from what is shown in the article that the link leads to. Mine is in:
C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX 2004/Configuration
and it is called FileCache.dat, not WinFileCache.dat.
     I don't know if it has anything to do with the way Dreamweaver was installed (it's a work computer, and the computer group installed it), but "Username" in the above was not the name associated with the actual user account, but was the name for the administrator's account.
     In any case, thanks for the help! It will make using Dreamweaver a lot easier!

Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

Well I can't paste any text into any DW document, file, blank, page name, nothing
The paste command does not work in DW
I have deleted corrupted cache
I have tried Restore Preferences
Nothing allows me to paste text in any format from any file format period.

Close one CMD window leave the other one open

I have two CMD windows open runnig a LabVew launched commandline program
It is two instances of the iperf program and I found this searching here
taskkill /F /IM iperf.exe
That works but it kill both windows.
I take it I need to find the PID on the two windows and only kill the one I want
How do I find the PID?
Is there a better way?

I tried this without LabVIEW, just 2 command line windows named 'win1' and 'win2'. It works. Only one of the instances cancels execution. Since the name of the program adds also to the title it is easier to use wildcard in the filter. When you run 'iperf ' the window title will be 'win1 - iperf -c ..........', so you can use taskkill /FI "windowtitle eq win1*" respectively taskkill /FI "windowtitle eq win2*"
That does not seem to work.
The title has C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe - C:\iperf\iperf -s -u -p50002 -i2 -l300M

Cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats.

I cannot open a new or old pagemaker 6.5 document. The message comes up 'cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Linda

Let me confirm what you're saying.
PM (windows?) loads up OK, but when you try to open an existing or create new publication, you get the error "'cannot paste from clipboard. Cannot read the available clipboard formats"?
!. PM6.5 can only be operated on a contemporary OS, like Win98SE or Win2K. Generally speaking, with later versions on Windows, it's a non-starter. If this is the case, and it's essential you open your PM files, download and install the trial version of PM7.
2. You probably have some corruption somewhere. You can try trashing all the configuration files (search using the string PM65*.cnf ) and re-loading PM65
3. If suggestion 2 fails, you need to remove and re-install PM65, but even this may not work. See 7.6 - Re-installing PageMaker of this linked PDF which was taken from the old AdobeForums FAQs. (Note the date of this FAQs and begin to realise how ancient PM65 is.)
4. Forget all the above, and move to InDesign.

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

System exec cmd window

Hello, first time posting a question!
I have spent a good while trying to find an already posted answer to this, and looking on the wider web, hope i have not just missed it.
I am using XP Pro SP3, LV 8.6.
I am not very familiar with Windows command lines and structures etc.
I am using the System Exec VI to start a third party piece of software. I have wired the path in to the path input, and if i wire cmd /c start xxx to the command line terminal the VI will run and start the software application (xxx.exe). As the VI executes the cmd window clunks open and closed. If i run the VI without the cmd /c part of the command then an Error 2 is returned (as widely reported by others).
Is it possible to open an application without the cmd window opening and closing?
Using the System Exec VI it is possible to open NotePad just by wiring 'NotePad' to the comand line terminal. Is it possible to place the third party software somewhere, or register it with the OS somehow so it could be started in the same way as NotePad (i.e. without the cmd window flashing up)?
Thanks...
Blue

Hi Thoric, thanks for the suggestions, Success!
I tried the True boolean to the Run Minimized, but it did not help.
Changing the Environment Path string to include the path to the directory containing the application did work (once i had worked out the syntax).
On to the next problem....
