I don't think there is any way that the D&D setting affects Paste Special.
So I'd check for something else being the problem - not being in Copy mode,
selection (paste selection) not being compatible with the range being
copied, sheet protection,...

Odd that your "false" and "true" below are not capitalized.

| Hi,
