I recently built a computer, everything seems to be alright with it, except one thing, CTRL + C just won't work. I'm running a Windows Windows Xp Pro SP2, and Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V work fine. I mean, I could probably just cut and paste anything I want to copy but it seems like such a hassle. Has anyone came across this problem before? Or know how to fix it?

maybe its some virus. or try to contact the place you bought the pc from. ask them for help. scan your computer for viruses, or the best idea would be to buy another keyboard. maybe the c button of your keyboard might be jammed.
hope this helps you |

Oh, I forgot, the C works fine, as the CTRL button (since Ctrl V and Ctrl X work)
I just scanned for virus and found nothing. Thanks for the help so far. |

I know it doesn't seem likely to be a problem with the keyboard, but have you tried using your computer with another keyboard to see if the one you're using now is the problem?

Desperately seeking "any key" to continue...  Group: Admin Posts: 3,378 Joined: 23-April 05 From: Trap17 storage box Member No.: 6,042 |
Good solutions so far... I have another theory.. and don't flame me for this one.
If you installed cracked software/program to be interfaced with Windows SP1 or SP2 products, Control C is disabled sometimes. This is either to prevent Windows from being compromised (a built-in feature) or the crack program somehow damaged Windows natural capability--keyboard short-cut to copy to the clip board. I'm not accusing anything...just placing MY previous experiences  I cracked CS once and experienced the same thing.If you can type any word starts with the letter C, just the letter C (like you have, I assume) or any word that contains the letter C, I can safely say that your keyboard isn't the issue. |

I spent about a good half hour looking but I have no results. Heck try to find registry search see if it could be done that way, of course I came up empty on that. Then I tried a few reverse engineering on how to disable ctrl+c but it came up with website stuff mostly.
But from the results I did find viruses wouldn't do this. Best bet would be to try your keyboard on another system. Also pop the C key and see if it is dirty or not. Of course I recommend that you try and contact Microsoft Tech Support (AHAHAHA) and see what they say, which would be "check your connections and all that good stuff". If all else fails bring your keyboard to a computer store and see what they say. |

Oh, I know the answer,
QUOTE just a buy a new computer just like the one you have, and a new copy of windows and TARA!! the problem is fixed Once I had a problem copying and pasting, and it turned out it's because of using a wireless keyboard. To make sure the problem isn't from your keyboard, just go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibillity>On-screen keyboard Then just copy some text by selecting the text with your mouse then clicking Ctrl then V on the screen keyboard, then try to paste. |

Ctrl C solution
Ctrl + C Will Not Work Replying to Trap FeedBacker I just ran into this problem this morning on my recently bought XPS 1530 with Vista Ultimate installed. If you have system restore set up on your machine, simply use it and go back to a date that you know it worked. Problem worked for me like a charm! -reply by Juan Solorzano |
