Hi Anda,
The first thing to do is make sure that the computer on which
drag-and-drop doesn't work has a version of ImageJ that is equal to or
greater than the version of ImageJ installed on the working computer.
If the problem still occurs when both computers have the same version
of ImageJ, then check both ImageJ plugins folders for a file named
'HandleExtraFileTypes.class'. If that file is present in the working
computer's plugins folder and missing from the non-working computer's
plugins folder, then simply adding the file to the non-working plugins
folder should solve the problem. If necessary, you can download the
file here:
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/file-handler.html.
If neither of the above solves the problem, then the last thing to
check is that both computers have the same version of Bio-Formats
installed. You can check which version is installed by selecting
"Help > About Plugins > LOCI Plugins".
Finally, there is an alternate method of dragging and dropping files,
assuming that you always want Bio-Formats to open your files. If you
select "Plugins > LOCI Plugins > LOCI Plugins Shortcut Window", you
should see a new window pop up; if you drag and drop files onto this
window, they should open using Bio-Formats.
Regards,
-Melissa

On the others I have to open the Bio-formats from the Plugins menu. I cannot find the difference. Drag and drop for .tif files works equally well on all computers (WindowsXP) in the lab.
