Re: [LegacyUG] Cut and Paste not working
I like the use of 'copy and paste' rather than what I used cut and paste', since that is really what I do. :-) Since I started this discussion, I have an update on what I think my problem was and how I solved it. I am using Windows 7. I did a reboot of Windows and still had the problem. I am using a free clipboard called 'freeclips' M8software.com/clipboards/freeclip/freeclip.htm. I believe this was causing the problem with the 'normal' copy and pasting in Windows I found that 'freeclips' was being blocked by my antivirus program Webroot. [the author has a video on how to solve this with Webroot and probably with other antivirus programs.] By unblocking 'freeclips' in Webroot under security tab, all copy and paste from Ancestery, Find a Grave, Notepad, familysearch.org, Chrome, IE and Firefox, Word, etc. into and out of Legacy works. I highly recommend the 'freeclips' program because I can copy small and large items into 25 separate slots in 'free clips' and only have to click on the slot to paste into Legacy. Since I do a lot of copy and paste of the same information into several records of people, this has cut down the amount of time going back and forth between records doing only one copy and paste at a time. To clear old clips from the all the slots, just right click on the set of clips and clear them. Then you can reuse the slots over and over. I would like to know if the 'freeclips' program will help those with Windows 8.

When you update makes no difference as it is often a new update that can cause a problem where there wasn't one previously. It also depends on what other programs you have on your computer, what security programs you run and updates to those. It's possible for a Windows update and another update to clash in some way. When that happens a fix is needed to one or both so they play nicely again.

RE: [LegacyUG] Cut and Paste not working
We have had some Vista users report that the last update for them caused Legacy (and other programs) to appear “fuzzy.” After searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base we found that it was a known issue with that particular update and that Microsoft was working on a solution. The users uninstalled the update and things went back to normal for them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Cut and Paste not working
Not that I don't believe you, but it would be surprising for a stand-alone non-resident program to wipe out cut/paste in all other programs, so let me ask you a silly question: Have you tried booting? Try this: * COLD boot (not just restart, but shut down and let it sit a minute.) * While it is down, try unplugging your keyboard. Take a look at it unplugged - any keys feel strange or unresponsive? Any gunk between/under any keys? Give it a mild shake - anything rattling? Just for grins, check your mouse while system is off, see if anything seems amiss. * I've had odd keyboard issues and found that it does wonders just to power down and run your hand back and forth across ALL keys so they go down/up two or three times. * Plug your keyboard back in and then power back up. * Then, before you start legacy, try a simple cut/paste (maybe in a simple program like notepad). Use only your keyboard first (hold down shift and use arrow to highlight, then CTRL-C and CTRL-V. Then try using just your mouse (highlight and then right click). * If that works, shut down notepad (or whatever), start up Legacy, and restart Notepad. Try cut/paste in notepad while Legacy is in the background. * If that works, try cut/paste within Legacy. * If that works, try cut/paste from Legacy to something else (and then also try from something else to Legacy). I know some of us use cut/paste a LOT, but can you remember when was the last time you had a successful cut/paste? Has anything ELSE changed since then? (Windows behind-the-scenes auto-update, antivirus auto-update, any other new program, new hardware, new USB key, etc, etc, etc). If any of the above tests fails, try doing a system restore to just before the Legacy upgrade - see if it works then. And/or try uninstalling legacy and try the above tests. Then install an older version of Legacy. Try again. Then upgrade Legacy, try again. Yea, yea, yea, I know, that's a lot of testing. And I do believe you that it is not working. I just find it strange that a single program would impact your entire system. Some type of system update or resident program update would be more apt to be the cause. Yes it is probably possible for a 3rd party program to have a global impact, but . . . Good luck! I'd be lost w/o cut/paste (why do we call it cut/paste when we usually COPY/paste???). I can still remember when I first installed Windows way back in the mid 1980s (I started on PCs w good-old DOS). I was in a spreadsheet and wanted to put something from that in my word processor. I memorized it so I could manually type it in to the word processor and started to shut down the spreadsheet so I could start up the word-processor . . . and suddenly I remembered I was using Windows and could have both running at once! Started up the word processor, did a cut/paste, and was in total AWE! I sometimes miss the old days of simple DOS and MUCH simpler installs and little or not conflict between ANY programs. But there are definite pluses with Windows.

Not working from webpages such as findagrave using IE and Firefox. Not working from Notepad or Word. Is this a new bug in the upgrade?
