Welcome ceuce!

Are you using a graphics pen and/or tablet (such as Wacom)? If so, there are some settings in Inkscape Preferences (File menu), which need to be addressed. Also, if you happen to have your mouse on the tablet, it prevents drawing.

If that's not it, did you happen to install using the .7z (zipped) package, instead of the .exe installer file?
