in windows 7 you need to go to the control panel and click on the mouse settings then make sure that the box for "Turn on Clicklock is ticked then in settings in the same window move the slider fast or slow depending on how you feel you want you mouse to react. then you see you can drag files explorer stc.

I have a similar problem. I have been trying to drag folders into another folder, and i gives me a circle with a bar through it. I cant figure out whats wrong. I have looked around like crazy for a fix. But i cant seem to find anyone, plz help!?
Hi. I'm new to this forum so not sure if this is the right place. Just purchased an Apple MacBook and want to use Windows 7 on it so I can edit a website I built with my PC. Otherwise I would have to rebuild the entire website because I used Yahoo Sitebuilder that requires a PC/Windows 7 to edit it.
By using Bootcamp, Apple says I can instal Windows 7 but the installation requires the complete Windows 7 disc and I only have the recovery discs. I bought a new PC several months ago that had Windows 7 preinstalled but I sold it . I paid for Windows 7 in the purchase price of the PC. Do I have to re-purchase a complete Windows 7 program or can I somehow get the one that came with my former PC that I already paid for? I am old and not too computer savvy so simplicity would be appreciated. Thank you.

well I've found out that this is an issuse with ClickLock in the mouse settings.
I have no clue whats conflicting with what, but I do know that turning this on and off will fix draging.
and yes there is a point since I've noticed this for a while but till now have not bothered to look up the problem because of the fact that it didn't bother me to much.
I've been having the same problem on and off for the last couple of days, it turned out that I had a sticky escape key. When escape is down, drag and drop doesn't work.
Hope this helps
as it turns out I was wrong on my ealier post but, I did find out that it is most likely a program you have.
I had opened all of my programs that were running on my system tray a.k.a were your clock risides, afterwards my draging and droping was working again.
I do not know this as of the problem for a fact, but it has seemed to work, and if anyone wants to know this is were I am drawing my conclusions from.
