Cant Copy/Paste or Drag and Drop

Hello,

I am having a lot of problems with my vista. As of a couple of days ago, I'm no longer able to copy/paste or drag and drop with ease.

For example, to drag and drop a browser window I drag the window but need to left click my mouse to release it. It’s the same thing if I am scrolling a page.
When I try to copy paste, it’s the same sort of thing, but a little "Accelerator" icon appears and gives me the option to search the word in google. It also doesn't "highlight" the word or phrase properly, and has become a pain to try to make it stick (if that makes any sense).

Its really frustrating, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried System Restore?

System Restore is fairly simple.

I'm not talking about doing a reinstall of Vista.

The first thing I would do is go to MalwareBytes.org and download malware bytes antimalware if you don't have it already. I didn't have this exact problem, but on my Vista64 it didn't want to let me delete files in explorer even with those force delete utilities. Turned out there was some "no change" setting in explorer registry settings. Malwarebytes antimalware picked it right off in a quick scan and the problem was gone.

Could be a simple registry prank type malware.
