What does OpenClipboard return? You have to have called it, and had it
return TRUE/1, before you're allowed to call GetClipboardData.

One thing I noticed looking over the Emacs code is that it bails out
immediately without any sort of retry dance if OpenClipboard fails - and
it *does* fail, rather than block, if some other app has the clipoard
open at the moment it is called. Are you *ever* able to paste into
Emacs? If this is intermittent, maybe there's some other app running
that just opens it very often and you keep colliding with it.
