Drag and Drop

Hello Everyone

It seems that i am the only one with that Problem. At least i never found anything about that problem on any Forum.

I have Vista Home Premium 32bit for a couple of months now. And the Drag and Drop never worked and still does not work. I mean it doesn't work at all!!

I allways have to right click, copy, and paste any file. This is getting realy anoying.

Any ideas? Or am i just do stupid...

I'm guessing you're trying to drag file from a folder onto another listed in the folder tree. That particular operation is problematic at best! This is because the folder tree in Windows Vista Explorer is depreciated, and no is longer really suited for primary navigation as it was in XP and older versions of Windows.

If you open two different folder windows and try to drag and drop betwen them, does this solve your problem?

Re: Drag and Drop

Nope doesn't work either. First i hoped this would be solved with the "single select" patch. But that wasn't it either.

Is there a way one can manualy dissable the drag and drop feature?

So i guess i realy am the only one with that problem?

Are you using the drivers that came supplied with your mouse, or the genric Vista drivers?

You can also check whether any accessibility options that affect the mouse have been turned on. Failing that, try using a different mouse. It may just be that the microswitches of your mouse buttons are worn, and don't stay clicked during a drag-and-drop operation.

Re: Drag and Drop

Hi Mojito,

You might consider doing a Repair install to see if that will fix your problem for you.

Really? I have never had an issue with this sort of operation on my Vista.

Re: Drag and Drop

Ok i tried that, but now its this:
When i tried to boot the System, i get stuck at the point where you have a blue/green background and it says "please wait". The screen flickers on and off, and thats it.

When i tried to boot from the cd for a repair or clean install, all i get is the blue/green background and that is it again. There is no menue or anything...

Re: Drag and Drop

Mojito,

Didi you check your BIOS settings to make sure that you have the CD/DVD drive listed first in the boot order?

Are you receiving any error messages?

Do you have more than 3GB of RAM installed? If so, temporarily remove the extra RAM and see if you can do the install then.

Re: Drag and Drop

Hi Shawn

I did change the bios, and it does load from the CD. But i only get to the window Nr.3 in your install guide. But without the menues or buttons, or anything. Just the plain background.

No errors at all.

I tried with 3 and with 2GB no change there.

I reached the point where i would do a clean install. But i don't know how anymore. Except deinstalling the HD and formate it on a seperate PC. But if there is any change on saving the installation that would be great. My backup ist not absolutely complete...
