This is really starting to tick me off... I can't copy and paste in my apps.. Does PBS have to do with it?

    Hm, tried repairing permissions? I don't know why that would work, but it seems to be conventional wisdom, and pretty harmless in itself. I guess you could also try deleting the problem apps' preferences?

    it seems to be all apps.... even TextEdit and SimpleText..... 0_o



    I'm gonna log out and log back in..... if that doesnt work I'll restart.... I think PBS has something to do with this...

    Yes, PBS is the pasteboard server. I handles the clipboard operations.

    OK. I solved the problem. Though I didn't want to I reformatted my hard drive and clean installed OS X, as well as updating to 10.2.6 because I like keeping up to date. That seems to have made PBS behave.. I have no idea what could have made it go crazy like that.....
