Unable to insert web form for marketers because there are no placeholders

We are trying to fix an old problem with our Web Forms for Marketers module (I think it is 2.2, but I don’t know how to say it) in Sitecore 6.4.1, which runs the .NET Framework 2.0. I'm having trouble adding a form to an element. I make the assumption that I should use the "Insert Form" button on the presentation tab of my item.

When I click on this button, I get a wizard that works fine until it tells me the following: "Placeholders are not allowed to insert a new form."

Ignoring the problem with the grammar of errors for a moment, I assume that it tells me that there is a prefix for the element that allows it to work with the form. I looked around and thought that maybe the problem in this question was related:

Can't get the Sitecore form to display in the placeholder (Web Forms for Marketers module)

So, I made sure that the form was in my template. It exists now, but an exception is thrown in the logs "the value cannot be zero" when I click "edit" in the "Form" element in the device editor.

Screenshot of Sitecore making me want to punch myself.

I have a Placeholder setup since I read that I need this for some reason. It is called a “form,” and the “Parameters” element is this / content.

Am I missing out on perquisite? Do I need to reinstall the module?
