## SYMPTOMS

An OLE 1.0 server application copies an object to the clipboard, then enters the blocked state. An OLE 2.0 container application then attempts to paste a link to the object from the clipboard. The OLE 2.0 application is frozen.
Next, the OLE 1.0 application is shut down. This unfreezes the OLE 2.0 container application, which proceeds to paste the link to the OLE 1.0 object. However, an instance of the OLE 1.0 server is launched. Normally, the server is not run in a paste-link scenario.

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
