Default Beeps when copying from one fixed drive to another fixed drive

I have a laptop with Windows 98. It has 3 seperate partitions as it will not
support a hard drive larger than 2 GB. I have tried to copy files from one
drive partition to another and the computer speaker will beep and the file
will not even attempt to copy or move. I have an external drive and I have
tried to copy files to it as well. All attempts to copy or move files in
windows fail. They can be copied in a dos window.

What exactly is the procedure you are using to do this copy?

I have tried to copy using the Windows Explorer and Through my computer.
Either by copying and pasting or dragging and dropping. It will not even let
me copy from a CD-Rom drive to another drive. If you install new software it
will copy the files that are done during the installation. But you can not
do anything manually. I seems like it is a security issue. But I am logged
in as the administrator and there is only the one user on this laptop.

Can you identify what happened when this problem first appeared?

Try doing a repair of IE - version conflicts in DLL files are a common cause
of this type of problem, and repairing IE may cause the correct DLLs to be
re-installed.
