Copy / Paste not working in Excel with Internet Explorer open

Excel files work perfectly I can copy and paste all day long until I open Internet Explorer then Excel loses the paste functions other than paste as text. When you close the browsers excel works as expected again.

Help please!

Another possible fix is closing all browsers:
