can't drag and drop from iPhoto

Having trouble with iphoto. I have been dragging and dropping pictures to my desktop to arrange in a folder and all of a sudden it won't allow me to drag and drop to desktop anymore. It won't even allow me to drag and drop between iphoto albums. The only way I can correct it is if I restart my computer and it works again. This has happened to me 3 times now in 20 minute time span. Help!!!

imac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.


Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.


Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.

When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
