Escape key Problem With Drag And Drop (or So It Seems).

Same problem as "reply by Annika" -- but doing that to the Escape key doesn't work -- even hit it with canned air, in case there was some "stuff" in there (we have a lot of wind where I live).

So now I'M stuck -- still no answer except rebooting.

Plus my mouse often goes crazy.  Closes programs, runs all over -- to stop it I hit Escape.  Then nothing works for a couple minutes.  No clue as to what starts the mouse craziness.  No pattern to what I'm doing at the time.

Still cannot drag and drop, so here's goes another reboot!

Anyone have any other ideas?

I had exactly the same symptoms.It turned out to be a sticking escape key.
Check it out. Hold down the escape key and try and drag and drop.

I brought it full circle in 2012!

This plagued me 6 times a year for years.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the solution. I've found that presing "SHIFT+ESC" will disable the drag and drop functionality on my Windos 7. I found that cause every time I run Task Manager with "CTLR+SHIFT+ESC" I lost drag and drop.
