I'm getting grief trying to post a link here--my computer won't cut and paste anymore!!!!

...Is anyone else having a problem cutting and pasting links and text these days??? My little internet explorer toolbars were working just fine, when all of a sudden they quit functioning! Is Mercury back in retrograde or something?

LIsten, I know there are some good geeks out there that can advise me how to solve this problem. Any suggestions?

PS...the link I wanna post is from MSNBC and AP: it reads PROTESTERS PELT ROVE.

Dontcha think it's worth it for me to get past this issue???

:argh: :argh: :argh:

1. My dear pink-o...

I've never had a problem such as yours......

So I can't help you directly!

But at least I can kick this thread back up where someone knowledgable might see it!

Good luck!

:kick:

2. I've had those problems before.

Here's the solution:
Smash head on keyboard then dropkick monitor to continue. Just joking.

The only thing that ever worked for me was rebooting the computer. :shrug: Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will answer you soon so I'll know the answer too.

3. A reboot is the "Microsoft solution"

and cures 99-44/100% of all of Window's ills. Try highlighting and using <Ctrl> C to copy and <Ctrl> V to paste instead of the mouse.

4. Amateur,

you obviously know nothing about a pc.

A reboot cures 100% of Windows problems. And I'll have you know I have years of experience with Windows to know that. :rofl:

6. No, a reboot will not cure

the fact that it is bloated, buggy, and security hole plagued Microsoft software. I've been doing this since 1983. Who's the new kid on the block? :)

5. Well, maybe I'll try a LITERAL reboot...

...with a thigh-high dominatrix patent leather boot!!!!

It might not work but it would make me feel better. Anyway, I'll try the control key and see if I have some satisfaction. In the meantime, I bet someone has already posted the Karl Rove being pelted with veggies. Maybe there's even a video....

One can dream, right?

BTW thanx for all the advice. I love it all!
