VLC runs good on windows 8 Developer preview. I am using it on win8DP 64bit and it runs fine. Only thing is that Drag&Drop of files/playlists onto vlc does not work...

Is this a problem caused by win8 or has anyone else experienced this? I ask cause it works flawlessly on my dell laptop running windows 8 DP x64, while on my desktop which also runs the exact same windows 8 DP x64, VLC Drag&Drop doesnt work. while drag&drop works on other softwares...

Is there anything i can do to get it back? I have already tried clearing caches, reseting preferences as well as uninstall-reinstall but no result

One drag&drop issue that is caused by Windows is related to case where you run VLC with separate privileges or with separate user account. If that is so, the drag&drop won't work, it is a Windows security thingy.
