Paresh, If the specific case you're having problems with is that clipboard-transfer sometimes stops working Windows->Other then that's most likely caused by some other application on the Windows system breaking the "clipboard chain", in which case any applications registered later on in the chain stop receiving notifications of clipboard changes. Unfortunately all it takes to break the chain is for an application that is hooked into it to exit without properly unhooking from it, which is particularly likely if the application in question is in the process of crashing...
