I just built a new Windows 8.1 64 bit with Asrock Haswell Extreme 11 ac motherboard. Using old copy of Audition 1.5 and Newest copy of Mediamonkey 4.1. I can't drag and drop mp3's into the programs. The only way I can get them in is through File/Open. I know that the Audition is very old, but I didn't have a problem with it on XP. I thought it was only the Audition problem but now that I have the newest version of Mediamonkey on it the problem also affects this one too. Is there anything I can do. I'm sure I have administrator set as priviledges. Does anyone have an answer to this? Thanks.

    This is a first build for me. My last computer was a Dell Dimension 8200 from 2000. I have had no problems with this new build. Started up from day one. I'm sort of proud of myself for this.

    I am Looking for a nice 28+ inch 4k Monitor. Any suggestions?

The Audition is an old version and many XP programs are not compatible. Run it in a compatibility mode and see if that helps.

Another thought is the Audition is causing the problem of not being able to drag and drop in Mediamonkey. Uninstall Audition, restart the PC and then see if Mediamonkey drag and drop works. Although this may not be this case, I've seen Adobe applications affect others.

Although this is a sound file issue, its not really a "sound" problem and one of the other forum sections would have been more appropriate for this particular problem.

Uninstalled Audition... No go. Still can't drag and drop the audio Files into Media Monkey. I have tried the compatability option and it just goes through all the things and still nothing comes about at the end of the wizard. If one of the administrators in here want to move this thread to a new category feel free to do it. I don't know where these questions should be.

Ok tried another version of Audition (6). Drag and drop is working. Maybe I just don't know how to use my Mediamonkey. I only use it for playing music. Audition 1.5 I used on XP for editing and making MusicMix Cd's. If anyone can help in fixing the drag and drop problem in Audition 1.5 I would appreciate it. It looks like there are different settings in Audition 6 that I'm not yet familiar with. I prefer 1.5 in the mean time.

I have AA 1.5 running just fine on Windows 11 including fixing the drag and drop issue and the answer is to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161 no idea why but it just works, also works to fix the drag and drop issue in W10.

I recently installed W11 on Jan 1st on my 2009 PC so it was a complete full format and fresh install so I have been updating drivers and reinstalling programmes, AA 1.5 had been installed and drag and drop did not and would not work as expected.

I began installing another programme that required the 2008 Redistributable which I installed and rebooted.

I then had to do some audio editing so I opened AA 1.5 and instinctively dragged and dropped and it was working and the only thing I updated / installed that day was Winamp and the 2008 Redistributable.
