I'm never sure at what point it got back into the broken state.

That is crazy and annoying. Now, I'm trying to think of how to provide you with small .exe that will exercise the clipboard API so you can see if it fires and is blocked or something or if it never fires.

Here's (probably) the easiest way to exercise lower level functionality to see if it works.
1. Install Linqpad (C# dev playground) LINQPad - The .NET Programmer's Playground[^]
2. Open up a new linqpad editor and add the code below.
3. Run the code and examine result

It's kind of a lot, but maybe it'll get you a step closer to discovery.

C#
// For this example, the data to be placed on the clipboard is a simple
// string.
string textData = "I want to put this string on the clipboard.";

// After this call, the data (string) is placed on the clipboard and tagged
// with a data format of "Text".
Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.Text, (Object)textData);
