Win 7 Clipboard clears contents when opening a new application or window

There are similar posts on this issue, but I see none with a satisfactory fix.
I have a brand new Dell Laptop, running Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1.
If I copy anything to the Clipboard, it works fine *IF* where I want to paste it is already open.
However, If after I copy, I do ANYTHING in between, the clipboard is cleared out.
Examples:  I'm in an Email (MS Outlook, Office 10) and copy a string of text from the body of the email.
I then open a new email, and attempt to Paste it, the clipboard is empty.
However, if I open the New email First, then go to the existing email and do the copy,
It pastes in Fine if I just flip directly to the already open new email.
This behavior is not limited to Outlook, Office, or even any Microsoft products.
I could try the same sequence of events from Chrome browser to Evernote for example.  If Evernote is already open it works.
If I have to open Evernote after doing the copy, the Clipboard clears. Same is true for ANY 2 applications on the PC.
System File Checker finds no errors, and I didn't expect it to as the clipboard does work as long as everything is already open.
Thanks in Advance for your help.

Hi,
As I known, some memory management softwares WILL clear the clipboard queue every time it engages. Check to be sure you do not have any kind of memory management or RAM MANAGER type of software loaded.
If so, remove it or disable the option to clear clipboard catch.

  • PS CS4 shuts down when opening a new document in Windows Vista 32 bit

    It worked fine for many years ... I recently had to do a system restore, start from scratch installing all programs.
    Now PS has problems (everything else works fine in CS4 as far as I know).
    It opens in the regular screen ....until I open a new photo. The JPEG appears briefly ... then the program shuts down.
    I performed the color profile rollback, reinstalled like I was told to by Adobe Support Advisor ... still doesn't work. Extremely frustrating. Since the rollback, it reinstalls "With Errors". ???
    I am on Windows Vista 32-bit, 4GB RAM with SP 2 installed. I have been around the web reading comments on forums, nothing is working. To me it seems like a simple fix ... but I just need to know what to do. *I am highly reluctant to go into the reg settings and start editing, like some suggest on these forums. That is just asking for trouble and having to do another painful full system restore.
    The suite has worked very well for years ... until now. And just with PS I am having the problems ??? I don't get it. Troubleshooting not my specialty.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It seems that this is the good old "I think it's 64bit" error. It tries to install 64bit components on your 32bit system. This specifically comes down to some DLLs on your system being missing or the wrong version, possibly even a hardware driver returning some false info (processor controlelr etc.) I'd check Windows Update and verify the SP2 is installed correctly. Also make sure your MSVC 2008 runtime and possibly .NET 1.1 are isntalled correctly. Verify in your device manager that the CPU is detected correctly and Windows isn't running in some sort of compatibility mode. if there came a specific set of drivers with your motehrboard, installing them alone might fix a lot of things, as then you actualyl may also see Windows Update install some components for the first time that may be missing currently...

  • When opening a new window, it automatically loads last pop-up (?) content and I am unable to type in address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

    I don't know if they're technically pop-up windows (for example, if you do a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new priceline.com window with the results of the search), but this happens with pop-up blocker on or off. Other examples are a small info window from a financial or .edu site that opens up saying a session is about to expire, or answering an FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows don't have an address bar or display a URL). Anyway, after these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of that "pop-up". Whenever it does this, I am unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in that window.
    How do I fix this? All I want is to open a new window that's blank, not load prior content.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
    '''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
    know what they are.

  • When opening a new tab i wish to see current tab again on the new page

    when opening a new tab i wish to see the contents of my currently open webpage again on the new page

    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
    * Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    * Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
    * Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.

  • How do I change the default page that appears when I open a new tab or window?

    I downloaded a program (Babylon) to translate text. After trying it out, I removed the program using their uninstall and then the add/remove functionality within windows. Nevertheless, remnants remain. When I attempt to open a new tab in Firefox (and IE for that matter), I get the Babylon Search page. In Chrome, when I changed the homepage, it eliminated the issue when opening a new tab. How do I establish a new default page when I open a new tab?

  • When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

    somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

  • Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

    Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

    But it seems the OP has a setup where the media is on the external drive, and the library files are on the internal. This is what I refer to as a split library, Migrating such from one computer to another is not straightforward. Often iTunes will have some definite idea about where the files should live, and updating the setting of the media folder won't change that. If it requires a drive letter change that is usually not too hard, but sometimes there is another preference file that needs tweaking to indicate which of the old & new layouts for the library is being used. In more extreme cases I have a script for automatically making track by track repairs.

  • After latest update 20.0.1 when opening a new tab, close, minimize, maximize are not working. Also using arrow in online dropdown menu's are non-selectable.

    After automatically updating to version 20.0.1 yesterday the buttons in the upper right corner minimize, maximize, close stop working when I open a new tab. When only one tab is open they do work. Also when downloading a file ( and again this opens a new pop-up window ) after clicking save file there is no response. The save file button looks as if it is pushed but there is no download going on.
    I tried safe mode, didn't help.
    I tried switching off all add-ons, didn't help.
    I tried reset, didn't help.
    I even tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, didn't help.
    The only thing that works for a couple of seconds is when I go to options in the firefox menu, close the pop-up the buttons in the upper corner are active for a couple of seconds.

    Hello,
    I kept searching a solution for this problem and I found that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956417
    You just have to update the Add-on Firebug from 1.10.6 to the latest version 1.11.2. If it's not that Add-on try with another Add-on.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Acrobat X (only) pauses for minutes when opening a new PDF

    If I just had a PDF file open, close it, then reopen it, Acrobat X (specifically) won't pause. But if I try to open a new PDF file, Acrobat X will open it but then will hang for as long as 3 minutes before letting me edit it.
    Why does Acrobat X do this.
    Thanx for any replies.
    Slowly

    I see this behavior too.    It hangs and won't accept mouse commands for 30 seconds when opening a new document.   It also won't let me close the window "application not responding."  

  • When opening a new tab, bottom row becomes "hidden" behind main window and only becomes revisible when tab on hidden row is closed.

    I have the browser set to show five rows of tabs, however, even on the third row (I have not closed enough tabs to test if this happens on the second row), when opening a new tab, the top of the webpage gets moved up to cover the bottom row of tabs, save for a sliver at the top. The only way to re-expose the tabs seems to be to close any tab in the bottom row -- closing tabs in other rows does nothing with the problem.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
