Unable to drag and drop effects into timeline

Hello! I have recently updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro CC, and I am unable to drag and drop anything from the effects menu into my timeline. Below is a screen shot. Any effect I attempt to drag onto the timeline results in the hand icon with the no symbol. Specifically with the cross filters, if I use the key command, they work, but not if I attempt to drag and drop. I am new to the software so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Cross Dissolves need to be dragged to the cut point between clips, if you drag them to the center of a clip it will show the NO cursor.

Hi Meg! I tried and it doesn't work even if I am between clips. The second I drag any effect, whether a cross dissolve or any thing else, the hand with the no symbol instantly pops up.

That is correct as soon as you drag the no-no hand appears. But you need to drag it all the way to the cut or clip.
