Orange circles with pencils through them on most modules in classic mode

I suddenly have orange circles with pencils through them on most modules in classic mode in my Sage 50 Simply Accounting program. I am now unable to for example choose a supplier when trying to make a new purchase however I am able to search old data within the same screen. So, I am clearly partially blocked but can't figure out why. I doesn't appear to be an accountants copy because the option to revert to a regular copy is greyed out. Does anyone know what the issue could be? Thank you very much!
