Hey people i am having a problem of not being able to copy and paste anything out of the current drive to another drive..can someone tell me what is wrong..???

I need more info. What is happening/not happening? What is the error? What are you running?

Thanks for replying buddy.there is no error.whenever i select something and copy it i cant paste it to another drive.The paste option is not highlighted.Control c and control v are also not working..

what do
i do.

have you ran an anti spy and virus scanner to ensure that isn't the problem? Spybot searh and destroy is a good one for spyware. Glary utilities is an excellent freeware that will clean your registry. AVG or AVAST are good free antivirus programs.

if all this fails, a XP repair installation should do the trick. I had a similar problem with not being able to send files to email from a folder and a repair install was the only way to get it fixed.

PS. Are you able to copy from one folder to another on the same drive? Maybe there is a problem with your permissions on one of the drives

thanks for the reply.I have already scanned the whole sys with AVG.

Also scan for spyware and clean the registry with Glary. http://www.glaryutilities.com/

It might save you alot of time in doing a repair install

Ya i shall try that..thanks pal

Basically u are asking me to scan the system again and clean it with glary right??

ya i just installed glary and i scanned for issues.I have repaired them as well.Will try now to copy and paste.

no buddy..Its still the same.no difference...what do i do now.
