windows 2000 cut/paste and drag/drop not working after a few minutes of use

I am currently experiencing problems with my windows 2000 sp3 cut and paste/ drag and drop.

Everytime I reboot everything is fine but after a few minutes of use the cut and paste and drag and drop capabilities no longer work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the fast response. But unfortunately I wasn't able to find any presence of the blaster worm ... any other ideas? Thanks.
