Can't Choose Race for Arcane Familar

[Olaf the Stout]

Hi all,

I'm new to Hero Lab. I was messing around with the program tonight, just creating some test characters when I encountered my first problem. When I create a Wizard character and I try and choose a race for my familiar I get the message "Nothing to choose from!".

After playing around with some options I discovered that if I checked the optional rule "Don't Restrict Companion Races" I can get to a selection screen for my familiar's race, but it does not show the usual options like Crow, Frog, Cat, etc.

I did a forum search and a Google search for this problem but came up empty. So what am I doing wrong?
