Legacy GM Background Tiles Not Functioning

Hello!
I have been working on a game for about a year now, and the main content is completed. All I have left to do are locations. Unfortunately, the Tiles tab of the room editor has stopped working altogether.

I have tried rebooting my computer, reloading the software, and even uninstalling and reinstalling. I am on Game Maker (Pro License) v1.4.1772

I have tried moving the background tiles outside the folders, but the Tiles list simply does not reset and they do not show up. The Objects drop down still works fine as expected.

This is especially strange as it first started a week ago (haven't gotten any work done on it since) and it just stopped functioning properly mid-session. I didn't even close the program or edit anything when it stopped showing the drop down items.

One thing that may be notable: starting a day ago, I got this error message every time I started up Game Maker. However, neither clicking Yes nor No has resolved the issue.

If anyone could enlighten me on a solution, or even just acknowledge that this issue is not just my computer, that would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time! :)
