Error 1200 on app.paste()

Question

Good day,
I recently ran into a problem with Illustrator on one of my machines. I am pasting files into one document and on one of three workstations Illustrator throws the Error 1200 ( See attached screenshot) while pasting the second file. I already tried some workaround like placing a delay before pasting, closing the SourceDocument after the app.paste() or doing app.redraw(), none of them worked. The only thing that prevents the errror is an allert() before the paste command - which is halting the automatic process. I can't find troubleshootings on this particular issue in google, maybe one of you ran into this or a related issue before and knows a solution. Thanks in advance!

does the error happen when destDoc is a new blank document?

Destdoc ist a new blank document, but the Error occurs only in the second time Paste is executed - so there ist already content in the document.

But i already got a workaround - before pasting i add a temp pathitem and remove it aber eben the Paste doesn't throw the Error.

Perhaps there's something running on the machine that messes with the clipboard completely unrelated to AI... I'd check that. Mylenium
