Cut/Copy Paste isn't working

For some reason, cut/copy and paste isn't working. Not the shortcuts or the command from the tool bar. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Restart your mac:
Safe Boot: Hold down the shift key after the chime until the Apple logo appears and the gear is moving.
It will take awhile but you will be asked to login.
Go to your Applications folder> Utilities and launch Disk Utility.
In the left side column, highlight your drive and repair permissions.( button down below)
Empty the trash.
Restart your mac.
