Syntax and Program Functions Not Working in PE6

I have a student running Win10. He has PE6 installed. He can successfully connect to a picaxe 08m2 via an axe027 cable. But he can't check the syntax or program the 08m2 as both the icons are grayed out. It doesn't work from the Picaxe menu list either. Restarting the program makes no difference. I suggested he remove and reinstall the program but he says he has a picaxe setup at home and it works fine there. I've asked him to bring his setup next week but, until then, has anyone seen this problem and is there a fix?
Thanks.

There are lots of alternate states to be in with PE6. Can you provide a screen shot so we can have a look?

It could be that the file being edited doesn't have a '.bas' extension, is possibly '.bas.txt' if copy and pasted or edited using a text editor.

@lbenson I think from memory he had the ribbon minimized. I wouldn't have thought it would alter the program function. I'll get a screen shot on Monday.
@hippy I don't think he had saved the file. But not sure. Will check that also.
Thanks for your help.
