Copy and Paste Problem

I have a Compaq Windows 7. Sometimes if I'm on a search engine, You Tube, a message board or I'm trying to edit a website the copy and paste function doesn't work. The copy might work but not paste, or neither one works. Later I'll go back to the same place and then it works again. I ran a system recovery and when I got the computer back up it worked for a while. The problem came back. How can I fix this?
 
Your clipboard will be full, chances are a restart of your PC will work and empty the clipboard.

If you were to copy & paste a lot in one session, your clipboard fills and will no longer allow you to proceed with copy and pasting.

Try a log out and log in and if that fails just restart.

Running Ccleaner will empty the clipboard as well, which I recommend running anyway once a week.

Yeah Ccleaner is also useful, theres a few other programs that will do the same and we use a few at work but I would also reccomend Ccleaner.
 
And here's another (very simple) idea. If your copy works, but your paste doesn't (and you're using the mouse to do that), then paste it with a keyboard shortcut (hit "Ctrl + V"). If it copied, this keyboard shortcut will make it paste when the right click of the mouse won't.
