Hello,
The problem I'm having is after my computer has been running for a while if I try to Click & Drag an item it doesn't do anything, same with cutting and pasting, nothing happens.
The only way I can fix this is by rebooting, when I do, it all runs fine but once again after some time, I have the same problem again...Does anyone know what could be causing this.
I thought I had this problem fixed a couple of weeks ago, what I did was I cleaned my Registry with TuneUp Utilities and Defragged all my HD's with Diskeeper 8.0 Pro...I even removed all Spyware with Spybot.
Everything was running fine for about 2 weeks, but it seems the problem has arisen once again, I've tried running TuneUP, and Defragging my HD's but it doesn't seem to fix the problem this time. I also know it's not a virus because I've done a complete System scan with Norton.
Please help if you can, because I am very confused.
Thank you.

How full is your hard disk. Is there room for XP to drop stuff you copy/cut onto a clipboard? Is the pagefile running out of room?

I have plenty of HD space...my C: drive has 33% free Space, D: has 21% Free and E: has 33% free...I set Paging file to System Managed.

I think you have done all you can do short of repairing your XP installation. So repair oyur XP installation already. ;-)
It may take an hour but it's worth it. The repair (not restore) instructions are here (read it all)

Problem has been fixed.
Solution:
I reset my hardware...what I did was unplug the power from all my drives, unplugged the power from the Motherboard, removed my RAM...waited a few secs and put everything back...I no longer have this problem.
