Unable to restore database

[Avatars91]

Hi!

I just purchased a new laptop and tried restoring my HM3 database from a backup file I created two weeks ago but both the Database and Configuration options are greyed out and as such I am unable to go through with the restoration process. I just used the same file successfully a few days ago on a different laptop I had and the restoration process worked, so I am confused about why it's not working on this other laptop.
