unable to copy and paste files

[networktrouble]

since a while i'm unable to copy and paste files on a win95 machine.
does anybody know a solution for this
the option copy is available in the menu's but it doesn't respond when clicked on it.

Its been forever since Ive worked ona 95 box, but I wonder if there is a way in Win95 to vire the folder where the contents of the clipboard are stored. Perhaps it is full and needs emptied?

 

[wolluf]

Do the usual shortcut keys work (highlight file, Ctrl+C, click on folder to copy to and Ctrl+V)?

Like hcetrepus its been a while... I'm sure I've seen answer to this 7 or 8 years ago! (registry problem possibly) - I'll post back if blinded by returned memory.

tried the ctrl C function ctrl V before but without a result
I really don't know what's wrong with this machine

I had that same symptom on a 98 machine. Run a virus scan if you have virus protection.

CAN copy and paste in IE or CAN NOT?

AA;
I "think" networktrouble is saying he cannot copy and paste in Windows Explorer only (Can copy and paste in IE and on the Desktop).

I don't know if it's working in other programs like MS WORD, Email, NotePad, etc... (how about it networktrouble?).

WINKEY + F (Search the Drive -- FIND)
Named = OLEPRO32.DLL
(also OLE*.* afterwards)
Look In = C:
notice the DateStamp on each one - WRITE THEM DOWN

Right click each file >> Properties - notice VERSION numbers and dates - WRITE THEM DOWN.

(most are in the \SYSTEM folder)

First Rename it to olepro32.old (so you ALWAYS have it)
Try ALL the Copy Paste functions...if no go
Extract Orig. Olepro32.dll from 95 CD

What I'm getting at, is a Newer version of one of the OLE files was Overwritten / Replaced by an Installed Program.....or just being Used, if the OLE file is located in a subfolder of Installed App. (try renaming them as well)

Realizing 95 has no SFC (System File Checker) Utility to use the EXTRACT function with (as 98 does).
You'll need to use either the MSDOS Prompt Box - or Real DOS mode

I can give you the correct command line if I knew the 95 CDROM file /CAB structure (directory).
for ex;
(if D:\ is the CDROM Drive, and base4.cab is the FIRST cab file alphabetically listed - in whatever Directory all the CAB files are in - such as D:\Win95)
So...Boot to a Dos Command Prompt - C:if no go - use a WIn95 Startup disk and run this similar command from A:\
extract /a /d /c D:\WIN95\BASE4.CAB /L C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM Olepro32.dll
(replace Base4.cab with appropriate CAB file name, if necessary)
this method enables you to Extract WITHOUT having to KNOW which particular CAB folder, the OLE files are in (or any other files you may want to extract).
add (include) the /y switch , into the command string if you want to Overwrite files.

Use EXTRACT /? for info on using switches.
Also - you possibly have CAB files on HDD (which you can search easily, i believe with Cabview.dll - right click -select VIEW) - All the CAB files may be in C:\CABS, or C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS

but here's MS article anyway on Extraction for 95 , 98, and ME
