Okay, so I just made this webpage, and accidentally saved over it. The webpage was only up for about fifteen minutes, I never viewed it through a browser, and no screen shot was saved of it. My sole concern at the moment is the text that was in it. I actually copied the text in hopes of keeping a copy on my computer, but (stupidly) never pasted it, and ended up copying something else after it. I wanted to know whether there was such a recovery tool that could revive a deleted clipboard entry in microsoft word. Or any sort of recovery tool that could recover text I copied. I know I'm grasping at straws at this point, but the text was really important to me.

Sadly, I think the clipboard is transient in it's operation. If you copy something I believe the previously copied information is sadly gone.
You can check what's in your clipboard by going to Start/Run/ enter "clipbrd" (without the quotes), and select OK.
You could always try running Recuva, another Piriform free application, and see if anything recognizable pops up, but that's the best I can offer.
Recuva:
Maybe one of the other guys may have a better solution.

The manyclip won't download from that site. The other one doesn't seem to recover.
Oh my goodness, this is evil.

Drunk? Nice.
Well thanks so much for the help everyone (except Corona. Grow up, maybe?). I did find another site that hosts manyclips, but it appears the program doesn't work on Vista. My search did, however, lead me a few other programs, and I'll look them over, but I suppose it's probably time to give up.

Amused you may have already seen this page with the vista clipboard softwares (most free) but in case you haven't.

Perhaps when you have chosen a one you can let us know what it is and how it works for you.
It could help other users to not suffer the same fate as you did.

Well, most of the software I came across was meant to prevent the problem from happening. Programs like "Clipboard Recovery" will not pull up old/deleted clipboard entries, it will just store everything you copy while it's running. The best program (and only program, as far as I know) to deal with this problem would be ManyClip, assuming it works with your computer. The program is rather old, but a number of websites still carry it, and should come up via a google search.
It's really a shame that more versions of manyclip, or programs like it, have never been developed.
Well, thanks again everyone.
