Hi, sorry if I am not posting in the right place - but the 10.2 area off apple.com seems to not be allowing new posts and i am having a very odd problem. I can not "move" any icons on my desktop - there seems to be no dragging at all. Nor can I "drag off" links or files from a web page. and finally I can not change my desktop picture which seems to be related. It seemed to begin immediately after i had a problem with my printer (hp 3650)
I have trashed my finders prefs, repaired my permissions, ran tech tools, relaunched finder - restarted the computer - and I am really not sure what the heck is going on . . .
Other than that the computer seems to be fine - I can launch applications from the icons all the screens come up - just nothing except whole application windows will move. I can right cliclk or control click to download as opposed to dragging off - so technically I have not lost any functionality - but I'd really like to figre this out.
Is there dome sort of "freeze desktop" setting I may not know about?
I am pretty confused . . .
thanks for any help
Michael
