Strange "Run" menu with grayed out items

I'm using CCS5.3 with TI MSP430 launchpad development kit. I've seen this multiple times that most of the items under "Run" menu are grayed out. What does this mean? Currently I don't have a good way to get out of this state other than restart my desktop. Any ideas?
