Unable to "Copy Image" ...

Hi

What application are you pasting the image into? for a simple test just right click your avatar and choose "copy image" then open up Paint and click Edit > Paste ..... does this paste the image ok?

Please list any error messages.

Workaround is save the image to your PC then use insert in the application your wanting to paste the images into.


I'm testing FF3 so cannot check options as to why it doesnt work as right click copy and paste is fine for me in Vista, not always I would suggest this as FF3 is in beta, but its more stable in Vista than FF2 so maybe worth a try, major warning is if you love add-ons many wont work in this version yet.

 

Hi grc

1. Paint comes as standard in all Vista versions, just type Paint in the start search box. Or any graphic imaging software will do, even MS Word, just to test right click Copy from FF and Paste into a document is working.

2. Save is better if your not using the image in a document, to upload it as an avatar on another site then it would have to be in an image file as copy will only place the image in the clipboard for pasting only, .gif is also ok format for many forums. So as you already have saved the image thats your fix.

3. Run FF in its Safe Mode and if ok then yes indeed its an add-on issue, so disable all in Firefox normal mode and enable one at a time to find the culprit.
