Drag-n-Drop Files and other problems
Until late last week I was able to drag-n-drop files from one folder to the
next and move around my desktop icons. It suddenly stopped and I can no longer drag anything. I have also found that within applications such as window explorer I cannot adjust the field size of the columns. I can only go with the default or double click to autofit the column. I have checked everywhere I could think of where drag-n-drop needs to be enabled and it is enabled all those places. I believe the last thing I did on this computer was uninstall Comcast's high speed internet program. Does anybody have any suggestions that might help me. Thanks! Foxtrot |

Drag-n-Drop Files and other problems
Have you tried running System Restore to go back to a date when the system
was running correctly? Go to Start-Help and Support and look under the "Pick a task" section for System Restore. If you do roll back to a date prior to when you uninstalled Comcast you will need to uninstall it again. -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "Foxtrot" wrote in message news | Until late last week I was able to drag-n-drop files from one folder to the | next and move around my desktop icons.

Drag-n-Drop Files and other problems
Tried running System Restore a full week back before the problems occured,
but to no avail. I am still having the same problems. Any other ideas? Foxtrot "Harry Ohrn" wrote: Have you tried running System Restore to go back to a date when the system was running correctly?
