[geeks] Drag & Drop gone away!

[Michael Schiller]

> Hi All.
>
> Last night one of my switches (a lanplex 2500) crashed, and I had to 
> reboot the iMac after that. Something happened to the iMac, and I'm 
> not sure what, but it seems that drag & drop no longer works! In 
> mail.app I can't drag messages from the inbox to another mailbox (I 
> can still do it with the menus), and the spelling checker doesn't work 
> either. I've tried drag & drop in a few other apps, and it's not 
> working there either. I went ahead, and reinstalled OSX from the 
> cdroms that came with the machine (without formatting the drive so I 
> didn't loose all my installed software), and even reinstalled the 
> factory supplied software (from the 5 cds that came with the machine), 
> and even after all that (which includes re-upgrading to 10.2.3 after 
> the reinstall) it's still not working!
>
> Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm hoping this is something 
> simple that I've just overlooked because of not being all that 
> familiar with OSX. Worst case I guess I could do a fresh install, 
> reformatting the drive in the process, and/or call Applecare. Thanks 
> in advance for any help.
