I just had the nokia N900 for abt 2 months, and suddenly the screen would become un-responsive and clicking on it will move it between the desktops. Also the cross sign appear on all the shortcuts and widgets, screen becomes tottally useless as it keeps dragging one icon from one desktop to other when trying to do anything. It will automatically go on the Set-up mode (crosses on all the icons on the desktop)Please help!!!

The mode you're describing is the desktop modify mode. It lets you customize your desktop(s) the way you want them. It's activated by a long press on the screen. To deactivate, click Done in the upper right corner.

and, if clicking "Done" doesn't work, press Ctrl + Backspace on the keyboard to get out of it
Mine started doing this recently. Only sometimes and I have no idea how to trace why! Only a minor annoyance though

Same thing happened to me today morning. There was no response at all. Was not able to press Done. Switched it off and on a few times, no luck. Went to the service center. They said that the touch screen IC is gone and they will have to replace it :-(

Sorry for pulling up such an old thread but i have had this problem for a week and was pulling my hair out.
After having fixed it very easily thought it was worth putting on here incase anyone else gets this problem. For a week i searched the web for answers and kept getting this page come up in TMO.
it may seem incredibly obvious but if you have (like i and most do) an adhesive protective screen, simply take it off. Straightaway my problem stopped. Put my protective screen back on and problem is still gone.
Very simple solution but had me very annoyes for days lol
