    ok i have no idea what is going on. I have already used cc cleaner and that has not helped me. Anytime i go into mozilla or explorer it will not let me copy images or right click on anything. I have done some research and read that on some websites because there is so much java floating around it wont allow it. But for every page and even with explorer ? not to mention that i turned off java from mozillas extensions once and that didnt help. What a guy to do

    can you not copy and paste at all? can you still right click on your desktop etc?

    One more question, do you have a menu come up when you right click that even shows the copy or paste function?

    well i think its safe to guess that it is mozilla preventing me from copy and paste because explorer allowed me to just fine. I have already installed the most recent version. Any tips ?

    ok so you say when mozzila is running then you cant copy and paste.

    when youve exited mozzila can you copy and paste?

    if not try terminating the firefox process and then see, ctrl+alt+del, then on proceses end firefox task, then see is you can copy and paste.

    i think ive had a similar problem, i restarted and i was fine buy i dont thnik thats the same for you.

    check thoose methods stated, also try booting into safe mode and see if you can copy and paste.

    keep tapping f8 when the computer is turned on and select the option safe mode, then when your done just restart.
