If your locale is not English, it might be an error in one translation file.
You may try to switch your Lazarus to English: 
Tools->Options->Environment->Desktop and set Language to English, and 
then retry.

Otherwise consider to update your Lazarus to a more recent version, 
because your 1.0.14 is quite old.
