Have you done anything yourself to try and solve the problem? (ie- restart, software update, etc)
System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard tab > (at the bottom) Modifier Keys...
Make sure they're all set to what they're supposed to be.

no luck with that guys..
so far i've tried to restart, i tried restoring defaults, is there like a place where i can see every command even the command c, v, x the ones like that.. i mean i can always just command cut command paste but that only works for some things, this has been boggling me for like a month especially when you live by hotkeys. and its not like im computer illiterate ive taken all the necessary steps.. idk its aggravating thanks for the quick responses though.

Have you you maybe installed something in which you inadvertently configured Command-C to do something other than Copy? If the problem is consistent/persistent, it's likely something "global"--a background process, a preference pane, a startup item.
If you create a new user, or do a safe boot (restart holding the Shift key), which disables all the optional stuff, does Command-C work? If so, that would help you start narrowing it down.

I found the thread I was trying to locate earlier where someone was having the same issue. The better info is near the end of the thread (when is the good stuff ever at the top?).
