Resolved Question

No drag and drop

Somehow I lost the ability to drag and drop icons in XP home on an ASUS netbook (1005 HA).
I tried various repair patches but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Right click the desk top and look at Arrange icons . . . Anything locked?

Nothing is locked. I read that it could be a virus but I find none with various anti virus programs.
