Problem solved, when the conversion window opens up, just disable "Conversion enable" then everything is back to normal.

Good thing I still have my old Emac, went on it to see how the Conversion was set up.

"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled. Configure conversion ?"

And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.
