It looks like you're a free player. Free players can't use IOs unless they have an Invention License, or have 27+ Reward Tokens (enough to complete Tier 7 on the Rewards Tree).
Are the enhancements that you're trying to place IOs? If they are, then they're non-functioning as long as you don't have an Invention License (which is why you're not allowed to reslot them).
Rather than respeccing, I recommend that you go to a Trainer and choose "Train to a new level of power" and then "Select or Rename your active build". Choose to select your Build 2, and then train to your current level (it will start at level 1, but you'll still have the same amount of XP, so you can train to the same level you were at before). Once you're trained up, you'll need to reslot with Single Origin enhancements and/or Hamidon Enhancements.
If you really want the IOs back, an Invention license only costs 160 points, so $5 worth of points will reactivate your IOs for 2 months, with points left over.
@Roderick
I see, yes they are Invention Origins. So it's $5 to reactivate my IOs for two months for only one character? What if I were to resubscribe?
Another question, on a different character, if I visit the tailor it says my costume has invalid parts, and then my cape disappears. Do I have to redo that mission, and if so where is it? IIRC it's lv20 so my 39 shouldn't have any trouble.
Am I to understand I can't play my MM or Arachnos characters until I sub, even though I made them when I was a subscriber?

It's $2/mo for your whole account, not one character. Alternately, if you have enough vet time they are unlocked via Reward Tokens (Reward Tokens are earned by subscribing and buying points). Subscribers (called VIP Players) get a free IO license as long as they are subscribed.|

Where are the capes? The Back slot only had wings. My aura tap is unchanged.
Maybe I should sub for a month to get access to my MM who has a few hundred mil Inf (I think) which would surely be enough for SOs lasting a good long time.

Once you've unlocked these Archetypes, you can unlock existing characters of those ATs or create new ones normally.

You may be lacking some categories, since some of those are purchased costume parts, but anything with "Mantle" in it is a cape selection, as is "High Collar".
@Roderick
Yeah, I don't know what's wrong but the only thing I can choose there is Wings. I just hit cancel and my cape is fine, but it disappears in the preview. Maybe I have to do the mission again?
Nevermind, I figured it out. I had to uncheck the little thingie in the lower left.

By the way, if you just want to play and don't want to deal with respeccing (and trying to find someplace to go put all those enhancements) -
Any character, go to a trainer. Select "Select your build." You'll have two to choose from - the second starts at level 1 (pri/sec are the same, of course.) It'll be like re-training all your levels again (not *playing* from level one, but as if you had, say, PL'd the character and were just now going in to train him - the XP is there and earned, you just have to train the levels in.)
Mini guide to dual builds is down in the signature, if interested.
Make sure you join the chat channels "Victory Forums" and "Victory Badges". That's where most of the chatter and team building takes place for the server. You're also more likely to get advice there than on the 'Help' channel.

There's also the "N P C" channel, which is a cross-server help channel. For further details, see the 'Mentor Project' link in my signature.

I haven't played this since 2007 and just started again, despite having a 50 I feel like an utterly helpless noob. My current problem is using a free Respec, I can't reassign my enhancments. The circles they go in are greyed out. Can someone help me, and answer any other questions I may have? As I said, it's been a long time since I played and a lot has changed, so what little I remember is not very accurate anymore.
