Hi Greg,
I have not had that happen. I did a quick search online and was wondering if this would at least prevent a complete reboot:
"General Fix #4: Click the Start/Windows button, Type Go to Start (Start/Run) type the following in the search box: cmd /c "echo off | clip" (including the quotes) then hit Enter. Note that there is a space between "cmd" and "/" but nowhere else. I keep a copy of this command in my stickies on ClipX so I don't have to go back and find it every time this happens. If you prefer, you can create a desktop shortcut that does the same thing. Just right-click on any frees space on the desktop and select New, Shortcut. Type the command into the location box. Click Next, name the shortcut and Finish."
This is from:

This link has a couple answers in regard to copy/pasting not working in Windows 7 64-bit. One of the answers contains a link to something that tells you if something has a lock on the clipboard (which doesn't entirely seem to fit your scenario if copy/paste works in all other applications).

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Copy/Paste fails
Since upgrading to v9.1 of RDi (RPG Cobol Tools), both PC's in our shop will frequently lose the ability to copy/past with the source editor. I have been working with IBM support for 6 weeks on this issue to no avail. When this occurs, Copy & Paste works in all other applications except for RDi. If we copy from RDi and paste into Notepad, it fails. The only way to restore the functionality is a complete reboot (restarting RDi does not work).
Sometimes we can work all day and not experience the issue, while other days it occurs right from the start.
We both run Windows 7 64-bit, MS office (different versions), and Webroot SecureAnywhere endpoint protection.
Has anyone experienced this or something similar?
Thanks,
Greg
