Go Again, I didn't Copy That..........
In my line of work, when on a computer I do a lot of CTRL C and CTRL V (in other words "copy and paste"). For the last two weeks I've been afflicted on my desktop [PIV/2K] by an inability of the first CTRL C to copy the highlit text (as evidenced by the CTRL V producing nothing - nil text pasted). A repeat CTRL C/CTRL V always produces the goods however. CTRL X (cut) always works at the same time.
A change of keyboards achieves nix and the problem doesn't occur on my Compaq Armada E500 Notebook. It's like taking up stuttering and stammering. Such a small and possibly insignificant glitch - but one that I find to be increasingly irritating. My desktop has no other such glitches (and it happens using either L or R CTRL key). Absolutely baffled why it should work on the second go each time. That tends to rule out any key intermittency. It has to be software.
Anyone come across this? Is it the result of a scratchy-patchy MS patch. Too late to do a System Restore - as it first manifested itself quite a while ago.
