Can't update hotlinks: Why?

Ever since a computer repair (early 2012 MacBook Pro; new logic board and graphics card), I can't seem to do a few things in ArchiCAD, including updating any Hotlinked Modules, or placing external drawings. I've attached a composite of 2 screen grabs. The Hotlink Manager doesn't update "Missing" modules, and I can't get a new, valid module to place on a worksheet. I used to be able to do all of these things. Any suggestions?

Any solutions to this? I am having the same problem... Just had a recovered back on new computer.
I wonder if this is related to the issue that seems to keep popping up that detail & section markers are often unable to recognized any placed drawing with "link to placed drawing." Usually reloading the .PLN file fixes this, but it's incredibly annoying to keep seeing the error message "No drawing placed yet."
