Can't move items out of projects folder

(fixed)

Turns out it was a problem with my computer and a missing driver for my mouse.

I am unable to move any objects out of my projects folder (drag and drop) into the hierarchy or the game/scene. It was working earlier while I was working on my project but after reopening unity it has stoped working. I’ve restarted unity, reinstalled unity and also removed everything unity related and reinstalled with everything fresh but problem is still present. I am unable to do any work like this. It seems to be the only thing not working. Any help would be awsome and appreciated.

(EDIT)

I’ve tried uninstalling unity with revo and re installing it, I’ve tried installing an earlier version of unity (that version didn’t work either) and updating to the new version. The original location of unity was on an external hard drive so I installed it on my computer’s hard drive with no success.

Thanks

Make sure you are in the Scene tab and the game isn’t running.

Are you using the latest version of unity? I have experienced problems with old notebooks and the editor.

What are you dragging to the scene?

That’s a very strange problem, but it sounds like something very minor to fix with Unity. Is this problem of yours happening on one particular project or does it do it even if you make a new project? If it is only occurring in one project, then perhaps your game’s project file got corrupted somehow. If it’s happening with new projects, then it has to be something else.

I typically get annoyed when people say this to me, but this has happened before to other Unity users like this person…

One person fixed this problem by a simple restarting of their computer. Did you try that? Another user (like the one in the post above) said their assets become non-accessible, like somehow they got inside of “zip” files and unity couldn’t use them from there.

I would go towards this direction. See if somehow your game/asset files physically on your computer(outside of Unity) got redirect somewhere else. If not, start getting on Google. There are several pages on these boards about people having this issue (and fixing it). I wish I could tell you more but I’ve never had this happen to me. Good luck.
