So I spoke with a Microsoft office rep and they are suggesting it could be a virus causing my issue with the slow copy and paste function...
Anyone ever encountered this and how can I fix it!?
Here's what they said:
There is something else running on the machine that is eating up keyboard and mouse messages. This “clipboard problem” can happen when there is something running that tries to render all available clipboard formats every time the user does a copy or cut. If you’re using a clipboard tool or other add-on to Office or Windows, this might explain the behavior you’re encountering.
You should also be suspicious of a virus, such as a keyboard sniffer or similar. There have been similar behaviors seen when someone has accidentally gotten software that is trying to sniff for passwords.
I have Norton Internet Security software on my computer, expires in 2011.
How do I check for this virus if it's there?? HELP!
