Install IE7 and everything works well... It seems impossible, but I've tried 'cause I encounter the same trouble and now drag'and'drop works again. Of course I using another web browser for internet. I HATE MICROSOFT. It seems they studying how forcing users to use their applications in all ways intead to programming well their products!

STAY AWAY FROM SP3 if you don't want to install IE7 to correct drag'and'drop problem.

Microsoft? no, macro-sh!t

IE7 isn't the fix for the problem. Something probably got corrupted on your computer and by installing IE7 the corrupted data got fixed. I still run XP SP1 with IE6 installed on it and I have absolutely no problems with it, so don't blame microsft, blame something else for trashing your windows installation.

Try using the System Restore function in Windows XP to restore the operating system to an earlier system checkpoint, before the error started occurring with Windows Explorer.

I find that if I drag a file from one window of Windows Explorer to another window of Windows Explorer, the original folder of the drag-drop operation tends to freeze and not respond until the drag-drop operation is completed.

If you really can't find a solution to the problem, I suggest you contact Microsoft technical support for technical assistance on your problem with Windows XP, although they may not be able or willing ( ) to help you.

Try moving the files in List or Detail view. There may be a problem with your thumbnail cache. And as others said, try System Restore if possible. A last resort is to wipe and reinstall Windows XP.

   Hi, since a while i got two problems related with images files in my Windows 2000 machine, both are

   problems are: Windows Explorer Thumbnails Preview : The problem with this option of the View menu

3. Why I May Be Installing Windows Xp Sp3 Again

   (7)

   This is a sad tale of a man and his machine that would not start again. The story continues with a
   sorted affair between two operating systems and a battle to win the love of this man’s heart. My
   problems began last weekend when I started my computer after it had been off from the previous
   night. Everything went normally throughout the POST but once Windows XP started I heard the dreaded
   clicking from the hard drive. After several reboots and a Spinrite diagnostic I gave up and called
   the time of death around three in the afternoon. This is not all bad because I had....

9. Will Using Fdisk Corrupt Windows Partition?

   (9)

   I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
   the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
   Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
   somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
   for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
   later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....

11. Problem With Drag And Drop (or So It Seems).

    I'm running on Windows XP with Service Pack 1. The last few days, all of a sudden, the drag and
    drop functionality of explorer (or anything on the operating system that uses system calls in order
    to perform it) screws up completely. I attempt to drag it, and it just flickers a bit to the
    direciton I'm moving it and then fails. It doesn't seem to be the mouse as I can still drag
    a rectangle selection to select multiple files etc, just no drag and drop. However, it isn't
    always like that, it works generally (as far as I know) and stop working out of now....

    went to see what was wrong with the file, and failed to manually delete it. I tried moving
    (cut&paste) it to another location, and the installation succeeded. However, the file is still on my
    drive, taking up a KB of space. I know that's not a lot, but where am I supposed to put it? In a

    Does any one know where is the encryption key in Windows XP stored. In other words how can one get
    encryption key. Or how to retrive the data without the encrytion key. By encrypting a file or
    folder, we are converting it to a format that can't be read by other people. A file encryption
    key is added to files or folders that you choose to encrypt. This key is needed to read the file.

15. Can You Create A Folder Name "con"

    Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (17)

    I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
    renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
    Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
    the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
    when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
    I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....

16. The Best Version Of Windows

    (42)

    With all the different flavors of Windows, what in your opinion is the best version? Win95, Win98,
    Win98SE, WinNT, Win2000, WinXP, Vista, and even remember Windows 3.1? I hear that hardcore Windows
    users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
    this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
    stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
    like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr....

    turned on when the system reboots. (Logs show that it has also rebooted several times overnight too)

20. Using Same Serial # On Multiple Copies Of Windows

    (15)

    I heard it is possible to run more than one computers on the same serial of Windows. I also heard

    computers in my house and don't want to pay $800 for windows on each one if I build them
    all myself. I can just put same serial on all of them. But I heard this is also breaking the EULA
    agreement with Microsoft which redeems this being illegal or improper use of windows. I would like
    to hear your sides on this, or the whole truth behind this. If so does this mean som....
