I can't cut and past address bar addresses.

My computer pulled some weird Internet Explorer thing today, and I had no choice but to go through some process of setting up the new system. I just noticed that I can't cut and paste web addresses now, and I could earlier today. The cut option shows up as unavailable. However, cut and paste both work for post text. Does anybody have any idea what to do about this?

Well, I just discovered a right click way to do it. It still doesn't work under "Edit", but I can at least cut and paste addresses again.

Does Ctrl-X still work?

Clipboard is broken, restart your computer.

No, the clipboard is still working if he can Ctrl-X and use the right click. It sounds like an IE bug. Can you still use the menu to cut and paste in other programs (notepad, word...)

You can't cut and paste addresses? Well, today I downloaded a very proper looking rar file (not warez or porn I add) packed with every trojan and rootkit under the sun, and although I did not open it, and my AV warned me of it during the download, apparently now there is a rootkit resident in my memory and god knows what else :(.

So I think I'm having a worse day of it lol.

Does AVG do that on default? Or do you need to buy the full version for that?

Because I've gotten dozens of viruses and shit before and it's never warned me(McAfee has, strangely enough).:P

We need no excuses to get Opera, and...

AV in this case = Anti Virus. The equally free and better Avast! Free in this example.

Yeah, misread that. :P

Thanks, looking up Avast. I never really liked AVG much, anyway.

I just tried it in Microsoft Works, and it worked. (That cheesy pun was not at all planned.) It works in posts sometimes now, but at other times it does not. It's probably because of a virus my computer got from some stupid porn spam.

Microsoft Works is also an oxymoron.

Could be a bug in IE, try reinstalling it.
