duhhhhh , thank you dwathny...
I'm not normally so brain dead and remember to post correctly. calibre 7.45 windows vista 64bit, sp2. it is on an HP laptop , which can sometimes give you goofy conflicts with the function keys , and the synaptics mousepad. I do suspect it's a problem on the machine as opposed to something simple I'm missing in calibre , but hope springs eternal. IOW , I HOPE I can fix it , lol. Yall make a mess!!! |

for the record , I don't usually gab this much.
BUT !!! I have found the solution. Many moons ago , I was converting something to something else ( formats not relavant , or remembered ) I was getting an error that looked like it was a file access issue. So , doing what seemed natural , I changed the properties on the calibre shortcut, under compatability , to "run as administrator" That allowed the file to be converted. fast forward to the beginning of this thread. Going through what I had done , and racking my fragile brain, I finally went back to the properties for the shortcut and unchecked "run as administrator" NOW , drag and drop works as it should. this is one of those issues that happens about once every fourteenth blue moon , lol. but I certainly will NOT forget it. When I was a support tech, I would have told the original poster ( yes , me , lol ) that there was a loose connection between the phone and the keyboard. |
