I cant copy and paste?
« on: July 05, 2008, 10:42:20 PM »
I was trying to put an image of a plane on the wishlist. And I couldn't copy and paste anything. I tried getting some info off of wiki, couldn't do it. Anybody know why?  :confused:

You have to right click the image, select 'properties', and copy and paste the location between

Try right clicking and selecting 'copy', instead of using the ctrl+c macro. That works sometimes.

I do, I can highlight the stuff, it just wont open up the thing to click copy. Will the Ctrl+C thing work? And for paste, would it be Ctrl+P?

Sounds like you either have a dead right mouse button or you need to set the right button on your mouse to 'right-click'.

Either highlight the location from the address bar then right click then left click copy, then right click then left click paste or highlight the location and left click file/copy then left click file/paste.  Some sites disable the right click menu.

No, I found the problem. When I open up Aces High, I close a whole bunch of stuff, and one of the processes apparently is the copy/paste/right-click process.

If it ever happens again, you can use key shortcuts.

CTRL-C = Copy
CTRL-X = Cut
CTRL-V = Paste

These commands were carried over from the old DOS days (back before mouses were mainstream), and still work in windows today!
