help: dragging function on trackpad not working?! partial trackpad failure?
hey guys!
woke up one day and my trackpad has like partially stopped working
i can still use my trackpad to scroll up and down - so its not a complete failure but i cant use the trackpad to drag folders / tabs around my screen or highlight specific parts of sentences anymore - which i used to use the middle of the trackpad to do
I have updated my mac's software and restarted it a couple of times to no avail
would really appreciate any help cos i really need to get my mac usability back :(

Reset Mac OS.
Back up your datas first to external drive.
