Trying to add some custom content, but Editor is giving me a weird error on compiling

I've used the Editor a half dozen times or so to add custom homebrew Pathfinder content, usual magic weapon special abilities or new magic items. I've never had much problem before, and always been able to figure out what went wrong if I did run into a problem. This time though, I don't know what's going on.

I added a new magic item power. Everything looks good. But when I try to compile or test, I get an error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

The width specified for the edit panel must be a reasonable value
The width specified for the summary panels must be a reasonable value
The 'initiative' script is required to support use of the tactical console
Default die type must be specified for the die roller
The data files must define a component set of id 'Journal' for journaling
The data files must define a component set of id 'Actor' for campaign support

I don't know what any of those things are, and I don't think anything I did to create the new magic item power would affect any of those things. So I don't know where this error is coming from or how to resolve it.

I've tried deleting the new power I created, but the error still pops up. Have I completely broken my '.user' file? I hope not, because I don't want to have to recreate everything in it.

Have you tried rebooting the program?

I would agree with this. Sometimes when using the editor HL just loses its mind and tosses totally RANDOM errors. Happens to me pretty often actually but its too random so far to be fully fixed.

The only solution is to shut down HL and restart it. 99.9% of the time the errors then go away. :)
 
Sorry to make you feel stupid, I have had a similar problem with Realm Works throwing errors at me and I was too scared to reboot the program because I was afraid of losing everything
