The latter was my guess, too. However, I suggest you add a notice to
the Windows readme file to make clear that Windows 9x is still
supported, but not as well tested as the more recent flavours of
Windows.
I have sent a bug report on this point.
If there is more I can do to help you fix this would you please let me
know. I would like to help you sort these problems out.

Unfortunately, I cannnot make a screenshot of this effect because the
mouse pointer is not included in a screenshot...

1. I select some text.
2. This piece of text is marked in yellow as selected.
3. I place the cursor above the selected text and press the left mouse
button.
4. I try to drag this text to a different part of the buffer.
5. More text I hover over when dragging is selected in yellow. There
is no dragging. There is not dropping either when I release the
left mouse button.

I will send a bug report when it happens next time.

Well, this is hard as I depend on external settings for running AUCTeX
and Gnus... without these there is not much useful I can do with
Emacs... ;-)

I mostly thought about the Windows explorer file dialogue which is
missing with me (see above).
