How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7? It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7?  It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

What happens when you try?  Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.

If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem.  But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you.  Here's how:
  1. Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
  2. Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.
  • This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files.  Here's how:
  1. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
  2. At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .

  • Drag and Drop feature in Flash

    I have several items on my work plan which includes the Drag and Drop feature to place on top items (overlapping) one another. When the third or fourth item is selected the previous item is forced behind his previous item. Is anyway to keep the elements previously placed repositioning, keeping just the items of stationery. Here is the code applied to the button instance that is inside its respective film clip.

    (press, dragOver) {}

    startDrag (_root. Item2);

    }

    (release, deployment, dragOut) {}

    stopDrag();

    }

    (press release, dragOver, dragOut) {}

    _root.x += 9;

    _root. Element2.swapDepths (_root.x);

    }

    Try...

    Ring2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag_2);

    function fl_ClickToDrag_2(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    Ring2.StartDrag ();

    this.setChildIndex (Ring2, numChildren-1)

    }

    or...

    Ring2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag_2);

    function fl_ClickToDrag_2(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    Ring2.StartDrag ();

    addChild (Ring2);

    }

    You do not have to write unique features drag and drop for each ring.  You can have a generic that is shared by all...

    Ring1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);

    Ring2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);

    Ring3.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);

    function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    MovieClip (event.currentTarget) .startDrag ();

    addChild (MovieClip (event.currentTarget));

    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropRing);

  • How to import or drag and drop photos into Windows Live Movie Maker?

    I'm unable to either import or drag and drop photos into Windows Live Movie Maker.  I just finished a movie and when I try to open a new project, I click on "Add photos and video", taking me to 'my pictures', but when I try to open him "add photos and video", the "file name" has so much history, it doesn't allow me to click on the location of my file.  How can I get rid of this story?  The first film was so easy, but this new project has been up to this impossible after about 7 hours of attempts.  Help, please!

    Hi Anniebp2,

    I think perhaps the best next step after all your efforts of trying to fix the program.  For this, since it is part of the Windows Essentials pack, you can go to the page Windows Essentials and re - download and re-install the package, which will update and fix the movie maker if necessary. I hope that this solves the problem for you. Please let me know how it goes.
