Design Rule check grayed out in Orcad 16.6

Hi All, I made a schematic project using Orcad 16.6. However when I try to enable "Run physical Rules" in design rule check, it is grayed out. Please see pic below. Also I am unable to change the file name of the report file. I checked if the folder is having any "Read Only" permissions.But there is nothing set.I am unable to figure out the reason why. 

Can someone please let me know how to solve this problem ?
