Rummy Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 So my new laptop's here, kind of nice, kind of annoying, first realising the issue with my RAM, but something really getting on my wick at the moment is the fact that I can't seem to drag between windows using the taskbar! Is there no way for me to be able to drag something from one window into another window by dragging it over the window on the taskbar and then the window opening for me to drop it in? All that happens now is the window I'm trying to drag into just flashes on the taskbar and that's it, it doesn't maximise or anything. (Also, dunno why but despite installing IZArc no sort of things related to it appear in the right click menu when I click files)
AeroScap Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Stupidly enough, imagine the bar at the top. Only the bottom 20% of it is where you should click. That bit makes the window draggable....
Rummy Posted June 9, 2007 Author Posted June 9, 2007 That sounds like describing dragging windows, which isn't what I'm having trouble with, I'm trying to drag stuff between windows that are maximised. In XP I could drag whatever it is down to the task bar, hover over a window title on there, and the window would maximise, now the thing on the taskbar just flashes orange.
Marshmellow Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Maybe your dragging something that isn't supposed to be dragged? Like Cube said it works fine for me, using the same way I did with XP.
Rummy Posted June 10, 2007 Author Posted June 10, 2007 Hmm, most annoying then. I'm dragging stuff I used to drag in XP, stuff like highlighted text between windows(too lazy to actually cut and paste? why yes i am!) and like links from the address bar into msn, and media links into a media player, all stuff I could do fine with XP, which is why I was so confused that it wasn't working properly on here. Allright, I have a question for you guys, can you do it with stuff from IE? Like drag something out of IE into another program? I think it might be the stupid norton thing that came with the laptop stopping it, cos I did it earlier using alt tab and a pop up said about some rubbish to do with stuff from IE into other things. *waits to find out no one here uses IE*
