The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to share Clipboard Viewer pages in Windows 95, the relevant buttons (for example, the Share, Stop Sharing, Connect, and Disconnect buttons) are missing and there is no Connect command on the File menu.

CAUSE

The Clipboard Viewer tool that is included with Windows 95 does not have sharing functionality.

MORE INFORMATION

If you install Windows 95 over Windows for Workgroups version 3.x and during Setup choose to not install the Windows 95 Clipboard Viewer, Windows 95 retains the Windows for Workgroups ClipBook Viewer, which has sharing functionality.

For ClipBook Viewer to have the Share option, NETDDE must be running. Place a shortcut to Netdde.exe (from the Windows folder) in the Startup folder to cause NETDDE to run automatically at every startup.
