Cannot open the Clipboard

Question

Every time double click to highlight any contents will pop this window said "Cannot open the Clipboard", it's very annoying. Restart PC will make it disappear for a while, but can't fix it as a solution.

Is there anything wrong with my system? or any settings would help? Thanks.

Consider using a Clipboard Monitor to determine what is locking the clipboard.&nbsp; A search on "cannot open the clipboard" lists this article which talks about a clipboard monitor:

Thanks, this helped. Found out finally that it's caused by another program didn't release clipboard, close that application and the problem disappear immediately. :)

We've seen that error since TestComplete 8 but we can't duplicate it, so support can't help.&nbsp;Sorry you are seeing it but I'm glad we're not alone. &nbsp;;)
