Are you saying that clicking Fades, Title or Effects does nothing - Import remains open?
Try using File > Settings >Reset program settings to default and restart MEP. If that fails find videodeluxe.ini (on my XP PC it's at C:\Documents and Settings\Terry\Application Data\MAGIX\Movie Edit Pro 2014 Premium\Videodeluxe.ini and is 45 KB. Delete (or rename) it and restart MEP.
