The first move that you've given us enough info to work with is in the narrative note "...running something called ppm to install win32-clipboard."

That should work; it does when searching or installing with Active State's ppm and correct syntax; in fact, it works there even with the caps borked (YMMV with whatever repos Strawberry uses). So please show us just how you invoked ppm... and maybe even tell us you read the documentation (help file).

These nodes/threads may be useful:

Also, please read about Markup in the Monastery. Your doubled (unmatched) para tags are incorrect... as was your attempt to use <pre> tags, rather than <c> (code) tags. Writeup Formatting Tips may also help.

Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:
  1. code
  2. verbatim error and/or warning messages
  3. a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work actually means.
