SPSS scatterplot help!! i cant click on "Add Fit Line at Total" button to add regression line.?

Resolved Question

SPSS scatterplot help!! i cant click on "Add Fit Line at Total" button to add regression line.?

This has been asked before but without a comprehensible answer so here goes.. to obtain a fit line for a scatter plot in SPSS you are supposed to double click on the graph (accessing the chart editor) and then click on the "Add Fit Line at Total" button. Depending on the SPSS version, you find this button in slightly different ways (i have v 17) but the button is there and i can find it.

The problem is that the button (icon) is not available to click on. it shows up as grey instead of black. This is a problem that occurs intermittently for me - It works on some data and not others. i am so confused. Right now i have something to finish and it isn't working - for a very simple set of two variables (with decimals). Are the decimals the issue?? Surely SPSS is able to handle that?
please any help is appreciated.. i have been searching everywhere for help.

Try using the Graphs > legacy dialogs - for chart building.
The problem has something to do with the chart builder
