I don't have another computer to try it on, but I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted settings files, installed to another directory, and even reinstalled windows as a fresh install. Still get the same thing. It worked the very first time I tried it and after that nada. I'm ok with the keyboard shortcuts, so I've given up on the drag and drop for now. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thank you for the suggestion Gilrock. I just tried that and still have the same problem. I have just learned all the key shortcuts for the effects and insert them that way. I just think it odd that once they are inserted they can be moved, would seem if they couldn't be dragged and dropped they wouldn't snap to a timing mark any other way. For now I think I'll just stick to the keyboard and quit pulling my hair out over this... Didn't have much to start with. Thanks again for everyone's suggestions.

Thanks all for looking and offering suggestions. I've tried everything I could think of. I watched hours of videos and how to set these sequences up and there's just work. Mine nada. Are there some setting files that xlights creates? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. There must be something because the reinstall had my network settings already.

Here's a screen shot of a sequence I threw together for testing purposes... I can get the effects in there by either selecting a group of timings right clicking and inserting random effects, they will also insert if i highlight the timing area and use the keyboard shortcuts. Once there i can copy, paste and move them around.

yes I do. I can highlight some of the timing marks and right click to insert random effects. I can drag those around, copy and paste them. My work around as of now is to generate enough random effects that the ones I want get placed. Then i just copy and paste them as needed.

I'm trying to setup my own sequence. I've imported others no problem, but starting from scratch none of the effects will drag and drop in the sequence. I can highlight a timing area, right click and insert random effects, just can't seem to get a single effect dragged in. Any suggestions?
