     When I drag a new image into photoshop, I can not manipulate the smart object, and when I attempt to "place" the image in, it automatically deletes itself/involuntarily removes itself from the canvas, I've tried with over images and got the same results, can someone please help?

I talked to someone in another community that works with photoshop and I just had to reset user pref.

Be sure your images are RGB or CMYK images

If one of them is Gif or PNG - 8 bits image - you cant do it.

If you see (index) near the name of your file in Photoshop tab - you need to change color mode

Go to Image > MNode > RGB and choose it to RGB

im using a PSD file that i've saved a few weeks ago so I could add more things to it for future CGI Projects, and all the imigase that Im using have all worked before, but now, when ever I want to open an image that I can add to the PSD, if I press enter or select place, the new image deletes it self.

no, I'm trying to drag an image into a new layer, and it imports as a smart object that you can manipulate before pressing enter or selecting place and when I do it deletes it self

    Are you trying to duplicate an image Layer or add an additional image to another image?

    A screen shot might help.
