Default Copying cells working only sporadically

I am having a strange phenomenon since I installed MS Office to an older
Windows XP system I have. Copying cells in Excel has become ahit or miss
proposition. I finally figured out that when I attempt to copy cells, for an
unknown reason, a large majority of the time it now copies the cells as
embedded objects. This happens for long periods of time making Exel
worthless and then mysteriously it goes away. I think this same situation is
affecting other programs. My theory is the MS Office install has somehow
damaged normal Windows XP processing of clipboard copies. 70% of the time
all copies are being copied as embedded objects. Does anyone have any
experience with something similar?
