Same here.  Latest driver fixed it.  Got 56.72 for NVidia GeForce Ti4400.  Maybe same or similar fix will work for you.

Red blinky was a small vertical red bar blinking in the middle of an otherwise blank clipboard, including for sign on.

I had it before I upgraded my driver.  

In one of the sign-on attempts, as the clipboard flashed off I noticed it had my sign-on name wrong.  

Thought it might be some file corruption, but then everything turned fine after I upgraded my driver to 56.72.

I havent touched my drivers, previous versions of AH2 worked, this one just wont let me change my username/pass

Will ALT-S work at that part of the program to nab a screen capture?

No need for a screenshot, I just wasn't sure if you were referring to a clipboard problem or some sort of screen of death.

I did what you said, cut/pasted my info in....it did have the old account in it

Started AH2, hit OnLine and again, just a red cursor.  Hit Enter and nothing happened...had to alt-f4 out.

sigh.

I must be having the same clipboard issues as others

Still the red blinkey here.  GeForce 4 4600 here.  Lotsa "colorful metaphors" have been tried, none have cured it yet  :)
