thank you all for you input over this issue.
Whatever was casuing this seems to have rectified iteself or has been taken care of in a DB update; (or chrome?) as now the click and drag works even quicker, no lag between the screens (and DB doesn't even display the dialogue box anymore as it used to) - it just works, which is really all I need.
If it plays up again i'll be sure to let you know; but seems all good for now!
Cheers and thanks again to you all for your input.

Hey all.
Definately a chrome based issue. Got on again this evening to upload some more files, and drag and drop refuses to work in chrome with those file lenghts/extensions - loaded into firefox and worked straight away. FF works cleaner than IE so guess I'll just use that when it doesnt work in chrome?? seems like an odd solution but can't really tell whats making chrome dislike it occasionally..
