I am getting a lot of trouble when using Excel 2003 with the error "Unable
to empty Clipboard", generally when I am copying very small amounts of data
from an Excel spreadsheet into an Outlook email. After a few sucessful
copies, this error message starts popping up. Sometimes it can be ignored
and the copy past proceeds normally. Most times though copying and
subsequent pasting just stop working (as do other uses of copy paste in
other programmes). Generally closing Ecel and restarting it fixes things.
But this error is occuring so often that it is a significant nuisance.

My machine is modern, with 1 G of RAM and plenty of disk space.

I have done Google searches and have found plenty of others with this
problem, but no solution. I am not using terminal services, nor I am running
any odd applications which i have seen mentioned. It does appear as if this
is a very old problem (dating back to Excel 97).

Anyone able to help out there?
