    unable to move files. copy file dialog always blank


    I am unable to move files or folders from one folder to another in Windows 7 on my Dell Optiplex 780. Every time I try, the copy file dialog is always blank. Files or folder will just not move. (see attached screenshot)




    Does anybody know what the problem could be?

    How full is your hard drive, if it's nearly full there is not enough space for Windows to copy & then paste.
