IT Queries: Computer problems answered

Nearly every time I try to copy & paste, I have to perform the action twice to get a result. It doesn’t matter whether I use the right-click method or go the long way around, I nearly always have to do it twice. I am running Windows XP SP 2. Can you help me please?

This problem could be due to a number of causes. The obvious one is you have a spyware infection. To check this, follow our previously posted instructions on removing a Trojan.

It is has been known for software installations to cause this problem so it’s worthwhile thinking about when this problem started and what software and hardware was installed around this time. Uninstall those programs or restore your computer to an earlier System Restore Point.

It is also possible some system files are damaged. This can be fixed by running the System File Checker.

If none of this works, you may need to get a computer tech in to look at the system.
