Default File Move - Drag and Drop Fails in Office 2007 Word and Excel

On one of our Windows XP SPK3 computers were running Office 2007. When ever
your using Word or Excel and you use either the File Open or File Save
commands and the Windowed Dialog Box appears with your file and folder
listings it will not let you move or drag and drop a file from one location
to another.

Lets say you have 3 Sub Folders in My Documents ( Folder 1, Folder 2 and
Folder 3 each containing files.) You notice while in the File / Open or File
/ Save Dialog Box window that their are several files which currently reside
in the My Documents folder but should be in say Sub Folder 1. From all other
systems I am able while in the File / Open or File / Save Dialog box to
highligt a file or group of files and move them to another folder. Say move
File-01.doc to Folder 1 or move File-02.xls to Folder 2. Its not letting me
do this while in the Office .. Word or Excel File / Save or File / Open
dialog windows. I can do it outside of Office as in Explorer Windows.

I have as mentioned in an earlier fix deleted the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Data key saved the
registry then reopened Word or Excel and it will in Word work for 1 attempt
then it once again stops working.

I have done the Office Diagose and Repair functions but still I can't get
this Drag and Drop feature to work properly.

All updates are current.

Thanks for your assistance.
