They all tell me that I should be able to undock my screen and also be able to add tracks to my timeline. which I can't do either, Even when I hit ctrl/shit/Q nothing, please tell is there something I can do?
thanks Motraderman

On the left edge of your preview screen is a single, thin verticle line. Just to the left of it is a wider pair of lines. Left click your mouse over the single thin verticle line and keep the mouse key depressed. Drag the preview window up and it will change size and position. To return it to the bottom right corner of the screen, hold down the left mouse key while over the blue bar at the top of the preview window and drag.

To add a video or audio track, right click over an existing track control pane -- the panel at the left hand end of a track. A menu will appear; one choice will be "add video track," a second "add audio track."

You can also create new tracks by dragging a clip from the Clip Pool to a blank part of the track area and, if memory serves me (I'm not at my editing computer), there are buttons on the tool bar at the top of the screen that allow you to add tracks as well.

Hope this answers your question.
