My cousins's iMac has completely lost Drag and Drop functions. Finder and elsewhere. First step was a reboot, becuase its happened to me a few times and a reboot always solved it. Well that didn't work. So I searched this forum and found a bunch of threads on the topic. I tried replacing the 'coreservicesd' file, I tried deleting the windowservices.plist, and then after all that failed I even tried that program, Dragster, to see if that could fix it. It did not. This machine STILL has NO drag and drop! I can't figure it out for the life of me, it should just work by now.

Hi!
I had this, too, and solved it by deleting everything in the /Library/Caches folder.

Check your system logs. I've had this problem but a restart always solved it. There is some sort of background server that handles this function and it sounds like it's probally not starting up-- the error should be in there.

What logs are you talking about specifically?

At the risk of stating the obvious...  ... I assume you repaired permissions and did a fsck in single-user mode? Does it happen with other users?

Sheesh, if you run a Mac troubleshooting and repair site, you should probably know how to fsck.
Reboot, then hold down the Command and S keys while it boots up. Eventually you'll get to a command prompt. Type:
/sbin/fsck -y
If it reports that it fixes some errors, continue typing this until it reports that the drive is OK. Then type:
/sbin/reboot

The only relevant thing in that thread, is to suggest a reinstall. I'm not a big fan of reinstalling.
