Solution to Problem: Broken clipboard, cut, copy, paste functions in Windows 7.

Broken clipboard, cut, copy, paste functions in Windows 7.

My clipboard functions just stopped working suddenly in Windows 7 Home edition.
Ctrl+X still deletes the selected text, but it does not add it to the clipboard.
All the functions are grayed out, regardless of whether anything has been selected or not.

I already tried using the right click, drop-down menu, and cut/copy/paste icon buttons, as well as the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V shortcuts -- no dice.
Apparently it's the clipboard function itself that is broken here.

I also tried going through the "Start" menu search bar to access "clipbrd" and it says "no files found."

Is there some way of accessing a setting or something to get this working again? It's driving me nuts.
I am praying I don't have to use a rescue disc to handle this, as it always seems to trash my files.

I finally got it fixed! Turns out it was a setting in my Iobit Advanced Care software.
The memory management and "junk files cleanup" was messing with the clipboard.
All I had to do was open Iobit Advanced Care, go to "settings" and uncheck the "clipboard"
boxes in the "Quick Care" and "Deep Care" settings, and presto! All fixed.

Thanks again to ALL of you for taking the time to help me work on this.
