If you boot Windows in SAFE MODE, does the functionality work?

If it does, you probably have a third-party program interfering. Recently,
we've been seeing cases where some document/file management tools and
antivirus software have interfered with copy/paste. Can you remember what
software you've installed since it stopped working?

There is also a worm (Blaster) that prevents pasting. See
