[QUOTE="The_Observer, post: 1538436, member: 310636"] So I did a complete reinstallation today by restarting the computer and holding command + R . Then I deleted the old HD by accessing the disk utilities and erasing. This reset everything to new because the OS X was downloaded from the servers. Then reinstalling occurred. When it was finished I reinstalled Google Chrome and tried to transfer a photo but the same problem occurred. The same issue with Safari persisted as well. To recap for those who may be new to the thread, after dragging a photo from a Chrome browser to the desktop a photo should just lie where ever the mouse is released. Instead mine snaps to the right side of the screen. When I do the same with Safari it does stay where it should but there is no audio clip played. To follow solutions presented at this point, I've tried lifeisabeach's solution in this past few minutes but to no avail. I have also created a separate user account but it didn't resolve the issue either. I also noticed that 10.8.5 has been released and I updated but that didn't fix anything either. The issue appears to be with Chrome as far as I know at this point but when I reinstall just the application nothing changes. I venture to guess that I messed something up with the reinstallation. Does any body know how to perform the purest of reinstallations there could possibly be? Or does it matter that I reinstalled in the way that I've described? [/QUOTE]
