whenever i pick [new] [dopesheet], and i type "i've got a secret. can you keep a secret? didn't think so", a window comes up that reads: dictionary modified or index file missing. recreat index file. ok. so i click ok since that is the only option. then a window pops open that reads: locate file:/application/animation master 12.0/index.i and it gives you opeians to enable I files (*.i) but first of all i have no idea what to choose. hash 2006 is an option because my only other options are my hard drive, network, or users. in the hash2006 no matter what i click on i can't open anything and i can't find the dictionary, or indes files, or dictionary index files or whatever i am supposed to find to make this exercise work so i finally give up and choose cancel so then another window opensthat reads : trouble opening dictionary index file! and i choose ok. another window opens up that reads dictionary modified or iindex file missing. recreating index file and i choosed ok. then another window opens that reads trouble opening dictionary index file and i click ok. it goes back to the window that reads dictionary modified or index file missing. recreating index file. so i click ok again. so then the window trouble opeing dictionary index file again so i click ok and then it just keeps opening the same windows and there is no choice but to click ok and since you can't do anything else but keep clicking ok i have to force quit the program to even get out of this and reopen the program and start completely over but it always ends with this same result so so far i have gotten nowhere fast....what do i do to remedy this? thanks amylia
