It was working previously??
check the options bar
make sure you are sampling from an area, layer that has pixels and that no funny settings like color etc

ditch your presets folder and let it go to default settings?? that often fixes odd glitches

ran all updates after install??
may need a re-install?

That message usually means you are trying to perform an operation on an unselected area of an image or on an adjustment layer.
For example you may be trying to use the clone stamp but the active layer is a curves adjustment: that will generate the warning box you are seeing.
