Without logs, we're handicapped in what we can suggest. You didn't even mention your operating system, or what you've changed recently. Things like adding/removing drives or installing an operating system update that changes permissions can all affect what is and isn't a "valid location".

Version 1.2.2 is rather old; the 1.3.x series replaced it.
