Odd, can't drag or drop copying files in XP!

[Nasty_Savage]

Dell d600 latitude with Novell Client (not running scripts). All of a sudden, I cannot copy files or drag and drop files into other folders. Anyone ever see this?

Seems to have resolved itself after a relog, I found this on anothe site and I was missing one of the keys. I'll update if this does not resolve the problem:

There are 3 reg keys relevant to this problems. Do a regedit and make sure that you have all 3, somehow the update deleted one of them on my computer.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Interface\{0000010E-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\NumMethods

SHOULD BE: unnamed Value of type REG_SZ which is set to 12.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Interface\{0000010E-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid

SHOULD BE: unnamed Value of type REG_SZ which is set to {0000030C-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Interface\{0000010E-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32

SHOULD BE: unnamed Value of type REG_SZ which is set to {00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Reboot and you should be good to go.

another possible solution is this
go to properties of the system toolbar(bar on the bottom of your screen)-->start menu-->customize-->advanced-->than make sure the check box labeled enable dragging and dropping is checked

Naw, it was spontaneous. Occasionally it seems I can't right click for a time. I'm suspecting its a java issue since that seems to be when it is occuring (java ads here, launching console one for novell administration, etc...)

Bah, still occurs from time to time....royally irritating me.
