cannot drag anymore

I cannot drag and drop anything. I have done it a million times with this
computer and I did not (intentionally) change anything. Now, when I left
click and attempt to drag, nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm
using a Dell Inspiron laptop (six months old)

Hey cushpup...I started having this problem and more about 2-3 weeks ago on
an Inspiron laptop that's about 5 months old. I also can't use the minimize,
maximize, or close buttons or expand a window by dragging the edge. I have
searched several sites for a resolution. Dell told me to run repair on
windows which didn't work and they then wanted to reload vista. I didn't opt
for that solution yet but am getting frustrated enough to try it soon. There
are several other posts of this nature so it seems to be somewhat common in
vista and dell combo. If you get an answer, PLEASE post it here for the rest
of us. I will do the same if I get one. THX!
