Can't drag EA into chart after MT4 update

 
My account went offline because of "old version". I installed the newest Mt4 update (built1420), but now it is no longer possible to drag the EA into the chart. What can I do?

Recompile your EA and restart MT4.

Mhm.... beginner... I bought the EA a long time ago. How can I "recompile"? Never did that...

If you don't have the source code, contact your seller for a new version.

If you have the mq4 file, double click on it to open it in the MetaEditor and then click the 'Compile' button at the top menu to compile your mq4 file to ex4.

what part of “If you don't have the source code, contact your seller for a new version,” was unclear to you two?
