're-establish clipboard chain' suddenly not working[Solved]

[mateek]

I'm running the latest version  of CHS. I've been using this program for at least a year or so, and love it.  Today, I wish I had it starting up with Windows.  I lost a clipboard entry before I started CHS, and went looking for lighter weight clipboard history recorders.  I found one that was crapola.  I tried to exit, to check that it saved the clips, and it froze everything but the Task manager.  I hibernated, and logged in again, but that was no help.  Restarted, did it again to check if the freeze was a fluke, and got the same problem.  It uninstalled okay but now the clipboard chain won't re-establish in CHS.  I tried a reboot again, and the problem is still there.

I can create a new note, and lft-clk of the tray icon shows the clips from yesterday, etc, but if I choose them, they don't show in the main window. 

When I use ctrl-c, I get the audible success sound, but nothing shows in the CHS window, eliminating my TREMENDOUS need for spell check.  I can copy and past fine in notepad.

The settings all look ok.  Text minimun is the default 9999.

Besides re-installing, is there anything I can try to get the 're-esablish clipboard chain' working again?

if you are hearing the sound, then it is working.
have you selected the "New" group?  Can you see the list of new items?
have you cleared the quick filter/search box at the top?

I was using View>Presets>All Caps, so I didn't see the 'New" category at first, but found that, went back to 'All Caps' and anything I copy is there.  Be easy on me.  I lost a really nice birthday email to my oldest friend today, and that freezing piece of sh*t program really scared me.

Thanks for the help.
