Microsoft Outlook Help?

I think I must have clicked on something by accident because all of a sudden, in Microsoft Outlook, I am unable to click and drag to move emails, I have to right click and then click on move, this is very irritating as I am moving emails all the time! its added about an extra hour on to my day :D

It also seems untra sensitive, when I click to view something in the reading pane, itr opens it right up ! very frustrating !

Anyone have any ideas?

    Nothing obvious, unless you've altered your mouse or trackpad settings, so why not just do a System Restore back to the last date before this happened?

    No, a System Restore does not affect your data, only your system.
    You are confusing it with a Factory Restore.
    Type 'System Restore' into Search and it will come up (if running Vista/Windows 7). If XP, go via Accessories>System Tools.

  • Thanks.

    Are you sure that you restored it back to a Restore Point before the problem occurred?
    You could back up your data and reinstall Outlook.
