the same thing happened to my desktop,i think it's virus.You'll need to send it to a gud computer repairer though you'll lose some of ur installed programs cos lot of things will have to be wiped out to enable it works fine again.

Go to start>task bar and start menu> advanced make sure enable dragging is checked or try tools >internet options.  restore defaults or try system restore maybe you did something by accident.

You have Active Desktop enabled - easy fix.\n\nRight-click on your desktop, hover on "arrange Icons by" - when the next context menu opens, deselect "lock web items on desktop"... problem solved.

Might not be installed properly.  Go to Display Properties, then screen saver then click preview after selecting your chosen screen saver. DO NOT move the mouse or press any keys, if it doesn't work try re-installing it.  Maybe your mouse is overly sensitive and is telling the computer that it's being moved when it isn't? (some optical mice sometimes trigger motion even though they're not being used!)

Windows Task Manager is meant to used on windows error so i could not think of any reason why wouldn't it work.\n\nSo my guess is one of the button is broken.. Ctrl, Alt or Delete

Your drivers are probably missing, but if they arent, then right click the desktop, go to the appearences tab, click effects, and uncheck show window contents while dragging

check the connections in the back of your computer, unplug it and then plug it back in, that should fix it.  If not I bet your keyboard is messed up, new ones are like $10 or less

Boot into safe mode and see if the mouse is working. Look in device manager for a yellow exclamation mark next to your mouse. Select the mouse and click uninstall in the toolbar.( If you have more than one listing for mouse then uninstall all).\nRestart your system.\n\nTry setting your bios to "Fail Safe Defaults". Save and restart.\n\nIf this doesn't work, then your mouse is most probably dead.

can you get to the internet when you log in?  Have you try a terminal service into the server? and see if that works.  You can imz me i am a system admin too.\n\nAlso try loggin in as your user too you should have created yourself as a admin too.  See if you can bring the desktop that way once again if you still can't let me know and I will try to help yo solve this problem

Hit the "L" and windows tab button in your keyboard, if that doesn't work smash the Monitor with a hammer and get into it. Thats the quickest way of getting into.

Are you double clicking? If that isn't working right click and select "open".

1. there may be a driver conflict. delete any other driver than the one that came with it in device manager.\n\n2. the driver is no good. delete it and let windows use the generic driver.\n\n3. the mouse is bad. return it to the store. that happened to me with a tablet mouse. i had to return it twice.

If you want to enable "Click and Drag", go to System Preferences, then to the "Keyboard & Mouse" Plist. In there you can choose in the "clicking" tab whether to enable or disable this feature.\nIf your hardware is damaged or is not working even with the Drag function enabled, then you must replace your Touchpad.
