Try system file checker.

Start | Run and

SFC /scannow

Also disable any programs running in the background (especially antivirus
stuff) to see if they could be screwing things up.

I've got a strange problem with Outlook Express: when I try to drag & drop
e-mails from it to an external folder, the copy seems to work (the symbol
+
appears), but as I release left button there isn't a copy of the e-mail
I've
dragged.
This trouble appeared suddenly; it happens only with Outlook Express.
I tried a System Restore but it didn't work (it's impossible to terminate
the whole process after rebooting).
I followed the procedure of Microsoft Knowledge Base (article no. 318378)
but I can't reinstall Internet Explorer (the message "Setup has detected a
newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system. Setup
cannot continue." still appears).
What can I do to get rid of this problem?

Thanks to all (sorry for bad English).
