Whenever I try to drag photo's or audio onto the storyboard/timeline, it just
doesn't add it... I tried with all sorts of files, just doesn't work. I'm
running a Windows XP Media Edition OS.

I cannot recall seeing this issue before but
the first thing I would try would be to do some
maintenance.

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)

It could be a codec problem - Try disabling all the filters in Options
See my website Movie Maker -> Trouble Shooting -> Codec problems
It also could be worth a shot at reregistering the DLL's
See my website Movie Maker -> Trouble Shooting -> Bad Installation

Of course it could be other things but these are the first two I would try.
