Drag & Drop not working to Dock or Application

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I have many photos and similar documents I edit in Photoshop (CS4) on a daily basis for work. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard the drag and drop feature no longer works, either to the dock icon or directly onto a canvas the way it did for me in Tiger.

I did a straight jump from CS3/10.4 to CS4/10.6 and the HDD was zeroed out so there wasn't an upgrade issue as I have seen on the boards elsewhere. Are there any ideas? Thanks!

J.C. I am confirming same problems. I am running Snow and cannot cut and paste or drag images into a body of HTML text of signature. When I try to do it I get the same image pasted (the same Mac uses for Preview - a small boy on a ocean front) regardless of size, file type png jpg etc. I already asked about any ideas on my previous post. No answers so far.

Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or
if it¹s your User¹s folder that contains the problem.

Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Accounts. Switch to the
New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching. Test drag and drop on
a new blank Entourage Identity.

If it works, then go back to your regular User's folder and drag your Main
Identity to Shared folder. Switch Identity and drag from Shared (it actually
copies) your working Identity to the Microsoft User Data folder > Office
2008 Identities folder. Open Entourage and test.

If it works, this confirms it's not your Identity and the problem is in your
User's folder.

If it doesn't work, then your Identity has problems. Try testing in a new
Identity in your regular User's folder.
