Vista - Drag and Drop

Mojito,

I do not know what else to try other than your idea. I hope it works for you.

Do you have the latest BIOS version installed (flashed) for your motherboard?

I have a similar problem. I have noticed from time to time that I cannot drag/drop files or icons anywhere. From explorer, the desktop, network shares, etc.
However, this seems to be an intermittent problem for me, because when I notice it happening, I simply reboot and the problem goes away (at least for a little while).

I cannot say what it causing it, whether its software I have installed that does it, or if it is windows itself. I have been unable to determine the exact MOMENT when I can no longer drag/drop. I just notice it when I attempt to move files and can't. And as I said, rebooting seems to relieve this problem.

I think it may have something to do with the Adobe CS3 suite as I don't recall this happening prior to installing it, and I use dreamweaver 9 frequently.

I will try to test this theory, but the user who made the complaint is not alone....

This is a problem I encounter frequently, along with some 278000 others according to Google. Most of all it happens when I try to clean up my desktop by collecting some files and try to drag drop them into a folder on the desktop. It's just one of those many thousand Vista bugs and has absolutely nothing to do with software. A reboot always fixes the problem.
