Why does "drag & drop" stop working after a while?

In my Vista SP2 desktop PC, after some houres I'm not able anymore to drag & drop any file to any window. There is only (IMHO) one way to solve this problem: to log off and open a new session. I suppose that it may be related to keyboard drivers (Logitech Setpoint) but not sure, any idea? Thanks.

Do you use texter from lifehacker.com? If you do disable it see if that fixes it there are a few options you need to change to get it working correctly.

"Are you sure you are using the most recent driver version?

Simply updating those might take away the cause.

Plus it would help if you give a clearer description of your problem. Is it just the file that doesn't ""move"" or are you unable to move your mouse cursor as well?

Edit: after some searching it seems there might be a conflict with UAC sometimes, to what level do you have it set?

Also check that you haven’t got your
escape key stuck. Do this either
physically—something may be wedging it
down—or else virtually—a program may
have set it as on. This has happened
to lots of people, if this post is
anything to go by."
