"no sites defined" message ...but there are!

Question

I'm hoping you can please help me.
I've been having a few management problems lately and this is
only the latest installment which is mostly a reoccurrence of
earlier problems.
I was trying to attach a template and encountered this error
message.
{ok, this thing isn't accepting any of my screenshots...
sorry}
"Dreamweaver stores templates in the root folder of a site,
but there are no sites defined.
Please add a site."
As you can see below, when I click on "Manage Sites" I do
have 2 sites defined and my index page, for one, is finding it ok
for an earlier attachment.
What's going on here?
Thanks for your help,

Maybe this is tied into the same problem but in my File
window I see the ftp for ML & ScS but I no longer see distinct
selections to see my local files for the two sites. The dropdown
menu gives me access to my hard disk and then I have find them in
the expandable directory.
Thanks for trying to help,
