    START , RUN, Type Services.msc. Look for clipboard and make sure its automatic, and enabled, and started.

    What cant you cut and paste in, word, excel internet explorer or what? or cant you cut and paste anything at all?

    Try this anyway, pop in your XP cd if you have one then do this simply go to the Run box on the Start Menu and type in:

    sfc /scannow and then hit enter.

    Does the problem only occur in Firefox, or other applications too (e.g. Internet Explorer, Notepad)?

    Can you copy and paste in FF?

    Can you copy from other applications and paste into FF?
