Cannot paste from clipboard into a TMemo

I have a client that reports he cannot paste into a TMemo from the clipboard. I also have code that calls TMemo.PasteFromClipboard, but this does not work.

He is using Windows 8 (not sure if 8.0 or 8.1).

Other users in their office do not experience this problem.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Windows 8 / 8.1 : copy and paste, known problem since 2013

  • copy content lost, switching from one app to another app.
  • try to copy and paste anything to an email.
  • trouble with copy and paste between a virtual machine and desktop.
  • copy-and-paste takes several tries.
  • using arrow keys when NUM is on (deletes Clipboard content).

Sometimes could be solved with

  • disabling the "Send to Bluetooth" option in Outlook.
    To disable the Add-in, start Outlook with the "Run As Administrator" option.

OR

  • Disabling C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Bluetooth\btmoffice.dll in the COM Add-in manager.

IE Internet Options

Allow Programatic clipboard access.

  • Switch from Disabled to Prompt

Sometimes set to Disabled make problems.

Webroot, if your client using webroot

  • Ask client to add your App to Application Protection tab

Win8, Webroot Secure Anywhere Internet Security Plus

  • Open Webroot as Admin user.
  • Identity Protection properties (gear icon).
  • Application Protection tab.
    list of applications (three radio buttons) : Protect, Allow or Deny.
    Look for the application that does not allow you to cut/copy/paste.
    If it's set to "Deny" you won't be able to use cut/copy/paste.
