Right click on Start, then click Properties, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced:

check enable dragging and dropping.


If that doesn't work:

Is this a new problem? Were things working OK previously? Any new hardware or software?

If this is a new problem try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

i don't know i tried the thhings you said but im still having a problem.... i think i have a virus or something like that. i dont know when it happened so i did not do system restore
