Vase mode doesn't work anymore [ solved ]

Hi,
I've tried to use Vase mode and let slic3r do all the necessary changes. But it doesn't start slicing.
When I change the view to preview or layers, there is nothing.
When I hit the export gcode button, I get a weird error message:

"Spiral vase mode is not compatible with support material"

But I don't use support.
It's not the first Vase part I made, but I don't see what I've done wrong this time?

Try deleting your presets and recreate them. I've had slic3r do weird things and it seems to be related to the preset files getting corrupted. This is slic3r's main problem....

You should always import old config files if new version is intalled and not just hope it works...

DD: you were right!
I selected the default preset file and altered it to vase mode etc. and it worked. Then saved it under the name of the preset file, I'd used before and it still works. Seems, the former file was corrupt.
