Happens all the time. Rebooting seems the only solution. I saw a similar thread from 1 year ago, but maybe some genius has found a "better" solution in the meantime

Knowing what thread you are referring to would also be of help.

I was talking about this thread ...

http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/123446-drag-drop.html

The problem is unsolved.

By II I meant that I had to start another thread and give it a "2"= II version.

The former thread could be called Drag Drop not working in explorer I

But at that time of course noone knew the problem would never be sorted out.

when does it start happening? how long after boot? it could be a program that starts up and interferes with vista.

Could be, but like in the previous thread the poster said, it's difficult to say. At one point or another during a long session I come to the conclusion that drag/drop doesn't work.

In my case it's always happening on the desktop. So I doubt it could be caused by a program.

What happens is that I drag a file or another folder above a folder and the file or folder won't merge into that folder but slips aside.

It's as if I drag a file/folder but drops it next to the given folder.

And after a restart it's solved. But restarting my Vista ! Sometimes it takes 15 to 20 minutes. Luckily not always. Vista likes to surprise you. I've learned in the meantime that I never should stop or break up an operation. Even if my Vista needs 30 minutes to shut down. This would cause the so-called cross-linked files to appear. After which you will have a hard time to make a partition on your HD.
