Importing and Director 7 + Windows Vista

I recently upgraded to Windows Vista. I am using Director 7,
which works great on Vista with one exception... I can only import
certain castmember filetypes... I cannot import sound or image
files... Director sees my files, but when I click Import and click
the Add file button, it just wont import it... standard bmp and jpg
files. I have run Director 7 in XP SP2 mode and as an administrator
and neither one seemed to help. Any suggestions?



I have not upgraded because I dislike Macromedia's changes to
the score functionality and the way the interface was rearranged in
Director MX... if they had not made those crucial changes, we would
have continued to upgrade.Importing and Director 7 + Windows Vista
Does it work if the files are completely 8.3 compliant. That
is: try

placing them on the root of a drive and altering the file
names to be 8

chars long before trying to import?



Alternatively, what happens if you drag-and-drop a file into
the cast

library from Explorer?

7.0 is probably a bit too old for serious work, version 11.0
is said to

come out the 1st half of 2007.



There are a number of lingo changes in later versions, 8.5
would give

you most of the new functionality including imaging.



The latest director might not be able to open files you save
with 7.0,

usually it only can go back a couple of version numbers.



There might be some 7.0 projector compatability issues with
XP and vista.


I placed the image on the root (c:) and same issue. The jpg
filename is only six characters long. I am unable to drag and drop
into Director.
Unfortunately I cannot wait until the 2nd half of 2007 for
Adobe to release the new version of Director. I *HATE* how the
score functions in later versions of Director which is why we have
chosen not to upgrade. All of our projectors we made on XP run just
fine on Vista. I have tested them. :) There has to be some logical
reason why Director or Vista won't let me ''add'' or ''import'' files
into Director. Any suggestions?

Buy a more recent version of Director or downgrade your OS to
one that

will allow you to continue using D7.
