From Digi. Page 327 in PT9 manual

Importing using drag and drop does not necessarily bring the Edit window to the foreground. For example, dragging and dropping a file from a browser into a track leaves the source browser in the foreground (not the Edit window). Always verify the active, foreground window or browser before continuing.

To import files as new tracks:
1 Select the files you want to import in a DigiBase browser, or Windows Explorer, or Mac Finder.
2 Do any of the following:
• Shift-drag files and drop anywhere in the Edit window.
• Drop files to the Track List.
• Drop files to empty space in the Edit window, below or between tracks.

To import and spot files into a track:
1 Enable Spot mode.
2 Select the files you want to import in a DigiBase browser, or Windows Explorer, or Mac Finder.
3 Drag the files onto an existing, compatible track. The Spot dialog appears.
4 Enter the appropriate time code location (where you want to spot the imported file).
5 Click OK.

Importing Session Data
You can import entire tracks from other Pro Tools sessions into the current Pro Tools session using the Import Session Data command or drag and drop.
With Pro Tools, you can import tracks and you can select specific session data (such as automation and routing) to import. You can also import main playlist options—either replacing existing options or overlaying elements onto existing tracks.

Ive had the same issue as well. I think this has something to do with uac being on. Turn it off and test.

Thank you so much.
I really apprechiate all your help.

It was the UAC.

So it's definite:

User Account Controll in Windows 7 disables audio-import via drag and drop!

Pretty much the only thing in Windows I didn't optimised for Pro Tools.

To fix this:
Press "Windows" and search for "Change User Account Control Settings"

Put the slider all the way down.
