Clipboard and Remote Desktop not compatible?

[weased]

When I connect from home to work (using Windows Remote Desktop) everything is fine for about half hour to an hour; then i can no longer 'cut and paste' anything.

Previously i wouldn't get evern a Warning message - it just stopped working.

Now i get an "Exlamation" Message that says "Cannot empty the clipboard".

When i dis-connect from Remote Desktop, then re-connect, i can use my clipboard for another half hour or so.

(I never realized how disabled you are without the clipboard.)

Any ideas?

Did you try searching the forums for similar threads: Clipboard Error "Cannot Empty Clipboard!"

"Cannot empty clipboard" - cut and paste problems

have been many posts about this in the past, and
I've seen suggestions about MS hotfixes, uninstalling Office, etc., but
I haven't seen this solution, which worked for me:

Go to Task Manager > Processes
Look for "rdpclip.exe"
End that process

This is for the case where cutting and pasting works fine at first, but
after a lot of cutting and pasting, you get the "cannot empty the
clipboard" error.

Actually I did try searching before hand, but I think I searched on "remote desktop" (this only ever happens to me using RD). I will check those links out, and this new fix - thanks all.. Unfortunately I won't be able to try them until the problem produces itself because I can't re-create it.
