Problem

Symptoms: While running under Standard Mode with a 286 machine, the customer could not cut and paste using the clipboard in Windows 3.0. He can cut and paste however, with his 386 machines in Enhanced Mode. Solutions: Standard Mode does not support clipboard functions. Only Enhanced Mode can provide this function. This is due to the DOS program not being able to run concurrently with Windows in Standard Mode. Windows is running in Protected Mode and cannot communicate with the DOS program, which is running in DOS Mode.
