Random: Problems with Photoshop CS2 pasting from clipboard?

Picture of Photoshop CS2 box Do you ever have problems getting Photoshop CS2 to paste the right thing from the clipboard? I frequently have this problem when doing screenshots with Print Screen. I just found the solution to the problem in the Adobe Forums, so I thought I would share. Apparently Photoshop isn’t always aware when the clipboard has been updated. So you can force it to always import the clipboard when switching applications. To do so, exit Photoshop, then insert your Photoshop CS2 CD. Navigate to [drive letter]:\Goodies\Optional Plug-Ins\Photoshop Only\Optional Extensions. Then double click the file AlwaysImportClipbd_ON.reg. Reopen Photoshop and you should be good to go.

For those--like me--who are still having this problem in CS3, there's hope! The same fix works in CS3, with a couple of small tweaks in the registry information.
