Drag and paste is not working on Windows XP... sometimes...
Drag and Paste has a bug that after snapping a file, you have to find a suitable place to paste. I recommend that they give the possibility to copy them anywhere. Another bug is when after dragging and pasting on Windows XP, it pastes is normal, but then it causes an error that can't paste.

Re: Drag and paste is not working on Windows XP... sometimes...
We'd need to determine terms here first before we could help. You've conflated a couple different concepts:
Copy/Paste and drag-n-drop.
And I'm not really sure what "snapping a file" means.
Copy/paste is basically Shared Clipboard. Generally, Shared Clipboard should be used for text only.
Drag-n-Drop is for transferring files from the host to the VM and back.
Both of these require Guest Additions installed in the VM.
Could you please un-conflate those ideas and state what you're doing, and what you're having problems with?
Also, please provide a VM log:
Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Don't miss where you were asked for a VM log.
