drag and drop images

Postby carol » Fri Aug 13, 2010 9:56 pm

I think somebody has been at my PC again :mad: ! I guess the solution is simple if you know where to look - I just can't find it. When I dragged images across the screen I was able to see it being dragged, now I can't, it simply disappears and reappears when I let go of the mouse. A big thanks awaits anyone who knows how to re-activate the 'see images as you drag them' feature!

click Start> Right click My Computer> properties> Advanced tab> then click the Settings button in the performance section. 8th option down should be the "show window contents while dragging" option. Normally this is set to "let windows decide" and everything thing in the box is enabled. Hope that helps.

Hi, liljim.

Soooooooo very, very sorry for not replying to this earlier and thanking you for your advice :oops: . Things have happened in the meantime and, well, I just hadn't got round to looking up your reply till now.

Anyway, many thanks, it worked! :D Makes a big difference when working with CorelDraw to see what you're dragging around.

Thanks again :bow:
