ACT! 2005 - Stuck in Read Only, or something

Hello,

I have ACT!2005. I was playing with the settings and now I am
completely locked out of all of the features. I am such a moron. I can
log in, but all of the tabs, "Add contacts, Delete contacts, etc" are
grey. Also, all of the tabs across the top of the page, "File, Edit,
View, Tools, etc" most of the options under those tabs are greyed out
as well. It's like it is stuck in some "Read-Only" setting.

Does anyone know anything about what I've done or how to fix it? I'm a
small business and I can't really afford to pay the stupid $300/year
for customer support.

Thanks so much for any input.
