I don't know if my previous post posted as it took me to a page that said I had to log in. I did, but wasn't sure if after I did my message was posted. After I selected the media type, there was no box to click and drag to. As a mater of fact ,the screen couldn't be made smaller for me to be able to click and drag. You don't say whether you click "okay" or "open" after you select your media type. I selected okay and got a dialog box with the option of browsing for my selection, but no way to click and drag. You're missing a step or two.
