When I click and drag and icon it doesn't move at all
until I release the mouse button at the new location at
which time the desired icon "jumps" to approximately
where the destination was pointed. This is not a function
of the auto-arrange feature as it is turned off, and has
been toggled. Same for the align to grid feature. The
icon does move, it just doesn't "follow" the mouse
pointer on the journey. System file check shows clean
also. A re-install of Windows XP Pro is out of the
question as virtyually everything else works perfectly
except this and, a re-install will trash many days of
updates and downloads. Please help with suggestions on
where I may look for this problem! Thanks!
 
Matt,

Go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance. Make sure that Show
window contents while dragging, is checked.
