...software that I have been using for years has quit working properly...and drag and drop has quit working. I did three system restores and got the drag and drop to working again...but it has already quit again...and the software is still not working properly.

I have not installed anything new...at least intentionally. I am running a full virus scan and malware scan at this time...which will take hours to complete. I am using XP Pro.

Many many businesses are on that OS and do not want to change.

fatfoo · 04-24-2010, 06:39 PM

Yes, it sucks when software quits working.

hawkadu · 04-24-2010, 06:46 PM

Try running it in compatibility mode to see If it works that way.

Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Pathfinder (delete this account)

Then Restart 3 times.

It should work fine after that.

Amputate Your Head · 04-25-2010, 11:43 AM

My PC is broken here today too...
but the 3 Macs are all working perfectly.

theking · 04-25-2010, 01:27 PM

I have formated and reinstalled XP Pro...now I am in the process of installing files...folders and software that I backed up. A few more hours and I should be back on track.

Should have just did a repair install, would have saved you a few hours of backups and program installation.

Since you have a fresh install though, make an image with something like Clonezilla once you get everything setup.
