Excel 2002 - Can only paste values, wont let me paste special

Hi All

I am using Excel 2002 (Yes I know it's old) on a machine running Windows 8
Developing excel vba projects.
For some reason when copying Excel suddenly won't use cut copy mode meaning I cant copy anything but values between cells
The "marching ants" have disappeared.
Tried clearing the clip board, clearing temp files.
I don't know if this is a Windows 8 issue or if my Office has become corrupt, as I have tried using other computers to run my Excel sheets and vba code with no problem.

HELP!! for once google has let me down.
