  I have the same problem. I use ctrl+c and ctrl+v all the time 
and sometimes (in various applications) the highlighted text 
does not get copied to the clipboard. (No, there's nothing 
wrong with my "ctrl" or "c" keys.) I've gotten in the habit of 
hitting ctrl+c several times quickly to assure the text gets 
copied. I see this behavior on several Win95/98 workstations 
(and, no, I'm not a dysfunctional typist).
