Unable to register as versioned.

I am having an issue registering any dataset in my SDE database. I was able to register as versioned two days ago and now both the register as versioned and unregister as versioned option is greyed out. The only thing I can think of is I turned on Archiving on the datasets. However its weird that one day I could register and now I can't I am thinking its permissions but I have used that database connection info since I set the SDE up.

If you enable Archiving on data which is NonVersioned, this is an expected behavior.

Enabling archiving—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS Desktop

Tips on enabling archiving:
If a versioned dataset is registered with moving edits to base, archiving cannot be enabled. It must be unregistered and registered as versioned without the option to move edits to base.
You cannot enable versioning on a dataset that already has archiving enabled on it. You must disable archiving, register the dataset as versioned, then re-enable archiving.

Have you already created a version of the default? If so, try receonciling and po stinging (if needed) and removing the child versions....and a compress wouldn't work. see if that changes anything.
