This is affecting just one computer of many I have access to, all running windows xp professional. I copy a selection from an image in MSPaint then paste into wordpad. I save, close and reopen and the image and any text after it is gone. The image selection is generally small in size.

I can do exactly the same operation on the other computers and everything works fine. I found one example of someone else on the internet having the same problem but he didn't get a solution. A program we use that uses a richtextbox is exhibiting the same problem, again only on this computer. Finally MS Word is also installed and it has no problems.

Finally, finally, it doesn't happen ALL the time just most of the time and it only seems to have started recently

I'd be grateful for any help.

If you cannot recreate the conditions exactly every time, then it is likely that you are not understanding the problem correctly. – Randolph West Oct 11 '10 at 21:38
That's true but so far it's the bug that's reproducible not normal behaviour, that happens on a seemingly random basis. – user52032 Oct 11 '10 at 21:56

Hi there I also had the problem & I just got the solution for the it. In my case,the problem encountered when I was trying to copy & paste the images of file formats other than .bmp (bitmap). but later I had converted those image files (.jpg, .jpeg, .png etc) to .bmp (bitmap) format and copied it to wordpad and save it. this how it works for me.
