Fixing copying and pasting in Windows 7
This past weekend, I experienced problems pasting from the clipboard.
Copying was no problem. However, pasting what was in the clipboard was not
working.
After a search on the trusty Google, I tried the following steps. Things
went back to normal. I must add, after running the scan suggest, the report
said there were no issues found regarding program Integrity. Then when
restarting the computer copy/pasting was working again.
Here is what I did.1. Press the start button or click on the start menu.
2. Arrow up to "all programs" or click on "all programs."
3. Arrow once to the right.
I don't think mousers need to do that.
4. Arrow down a few times and then press the letter a for accessories.
5. Arrow once right to open the accessories.
6. Arrow down to "command prompt" or hit the letter c until reaching this
option.
7. Mousers, click the right mouse button and keyboard users, hit the
application key.
8. Arrow down to "run as administrator" and hit enter.
9. A prompt asking permission to make changes on this computer will apper.
Click on "yes" or tab to "yes, and hit enter. You could also press alt plus
y for yes.
10. Type in the following line exactly, making sure to include the space
between the f and slash.
Sfc /scannow
11. A "barification scan will start. You will see/hear numbers spoken as
the percentages are counted off. When all is finished, a prompt will appear
on screen or will be spoken via screenreading software (if available)
regarding the status of Windows 7.
12. I suggest restarting the computer and things should work correctly
again. Below is pasted a knowledge base article from Google.
There is much more than is needed in the article for my situation. However,
possible other members would need the information later.
The following article is written for mouse uers, however, I have already
shown the same thing using a screenreader above.
The source link for the following article is:

. First, please test if the issue occurs in Notepad. If the issue
occurs in Notepad and other applications, or cannot copy or paste files and
folders either, please try the suggestions below to check this issue.
Otherwise, if the issue only occurs in the clipboard you mentioned, please
provide the exact name of the product.
When did the issue first occur? If the issue first occurred recently, please
check if the issue can be resolved by

If the issue persists, run System File Checker tool to troubleshoot this
issue:
1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All
Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run
as administrator.
2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a
confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
3. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
ENTER:
sfc /scannow
For more information, please refer to this Knowledge Base article:

on Windows 7
The complete article is below. But here is the direct link in case you wish
to view other useful articles regarding similar issues.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, do the following as
your appropriate:
<javascript:;> Description: Description:
http://support.microsoft.com/library/images/support/en-us/20x20_grey_plus.pn
gWindows 8.1 or Windows 8
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you
are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then
click Search. Type Command Prompt in the Search box, right-click Command
Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an
administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click
Allow.
<javascript:;> Description: Description:
http://support.microsoft.com/library/images/support/en-us/20x20_grey_plus.pn
gWindows 7 or Windows Vista
To do this, click Start, type Command Prompt or cmd in the Search box,
right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are
prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the
password, or click Allow.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
ENTER:
sfc /scannow
the sfc /scannow command will scan all protected system files, and replace
corrupted files with a cached copy that is located in a compressed folder at
%WinDir%\System32\dllcache.
The %WinDir% placeholder represents the Windows operating system folder. For
example, C:\Windows.
Note Do not close this Command Prompt window until the verification is 100%
complete. The scan results will be shown after this process is finished.
3. After the process is finished, you may receive one of the
following messages:
. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
This means that you do not have any missing or corrupted system files.
. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested
operation.
To resolve this problem, perform the System File Checker scan
<http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/start-computer-safe-mode> in
safe mode
(http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/start-computer-safe-mode)
, and make sure that the PendingDeletes and PendingRenames folders exist
under %WinDir%\WinSxS\Temp.
. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully
repaired them. Details are included in the CBS.Log
%WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.
To view the detail information about the system file scan and restoration,
go to <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833#CBS log> How to view details
of the System File Checker process.
. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to
fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log
%WinDir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.
To repair the corrupted files manually,
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833#CBS log> view details of the System
File Checker process to find the corrupted file, and then
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833#manually repair> manually replace
the corrupted file with a known good copy of the file.

To view the details that included in the CBS.Log file, you can copy the
information to the Sfcdetails.txt file by using the Findstr command, and
then view the details in the Sfcdetails.txt. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open an elevated command prompt as described in the previous step
1.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press
ENTER:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
>"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"
Note The Sfcdetails.txt file contains details from every time that the
System File Checker tool has been run on the computer. The file includes
information about files that were not repaired by the System File Checker
tool. Verify the date and time entries to determine the problem files that
were found the last time that you ran the System File Checker tool.
3. Open the Sfcdetails.txt file from your desktop.
4. The Sfcdetails.txt file uses the following format:
Date/Time SFC detail
The following sample log file contains an entry for a file that could not be
repaired:
2007-01-12 12:10:42, Info CSI 00000008 [SR] Cannot
repair member file [l:34{17}]"Accessibility.dll" of Accessibility, Version =
6.0.6000.16386, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_MSIL (8), Culture neutral,
VersionScope neutral, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:b03f5f7f11d50a3a}, Type

<javascript:void(0);> How to manually replace a corrupted system file with
a known good copy of the file
After you determine which system file was corrupted and could not be
repaired through the detail information in the Sfcdetails.txt file, find
where the corrupted file located, and then manually replace the corrupted
file with a known good copy of the file. To do this, follow these steps:
Note You may be able to get a known good copy of the system file from
another computer that is running the same version of Windows with your
computer. You may perform a System File Checker process on that computer to
make sure the system file that you intend to copy is a good copy.
1. Take administrative ownership of the corrupted system file. To do
this, at an elevated command prompt, copy and then paste (or type) the
following command, and then press ENTER:
takeown /f Path_And_File_Name
Note The Path_And_File_Name placeholder represents the path and the file
name of the corrupted file. For example, type takeown /f
C:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
2. Grant administrators full access to the corrupted system file. To
do this, copy and paste (or type) the following command, and then press
ENTER:
icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F
Note The Path_And_File_Name placeholder represents the path and the file
name of the corrupted file. For example, type icacls
C:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /grant administrators:F.
3. Replace the corrupted system file with a known good copy of the
file. To do this, copy and paste (or type) the following command, and then
press ENTER:
Copy Source_File Destination
Note The Source_File placeholder represents the path and file name of the
known good copy of the file on your computer, and the Destination
placeholder represents the path and file name of the corrupted file. For For
example, type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll C:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
