Why can't I 'Copy' (as in copy/paste?)

fuzzgun19

Does anyone have any ideas why all of a sudden I cannot 'copy' (as in copy/paste) when using 'Internet explorer'?

It's really annoying when I want to copy/paste a web address.

I can paste ok, but cant copy.

ho are you trying to copy? by right clicking and selecting copy or via the menu or via ctrl+c

I'm just left clicking, and then dragging the blue bar across what I need to copy, but the blue bar isn't appearing..?

Try right clicking anywhere in the address field and clicking copy

Does it work now?

'Copy' is greyed out so I can't.

once youve highlighted the text press ctrl+c and see if that copies it

Try this

Open Internet Explorer.
On the menu bar, choose Tools | Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Select the Internet zone and click the Custom Level button. The Security Settings window opens.
Scroll down to the Scripting section of Settings.
Under Allow paste operations via script select Enable or Prompt.
Click OK to close the Security Settings window.
Click Yes when asked if you want to change security settings for this zone.
Click OK again to close the Internet Options window.

Thanks.

When I get to the "Allow paste operations via script" bit, this option is not there, there are lots of other things but not that.

I'm using Vista, will that make a difference?

This seems to have worked!
