[QUOTE="The Fly, post: 142202"] You might be right, but I normally don't relaunch Finder consciously, unless it is to restore disappearing icons (another 10.2 problem) -- but sometimes when I plug in an external drive or digital camera, or put a CD/DVD in the drive, it seems to relaunch Finder when it recognizes a new disk. I say this because my desktop icons will disappear for about a second and reappear along with the disk /CD/DVD icon. It is sometime at or around this point (either relaunching the Finder or plugging in an external drive/inserting CD/DVD) that the drag and drop function ceases to work. I would try running the restore CDs, but I'd need to backup all my files first, which at the time being I am unable to do (no external hard drive). Thanks for all your help, and I'm still open to suggestions. [/QUOTE]
