Vegas keyframe timeline disappeared --problem solved

I am still a "newbie" on Vegas 5.
Just a tip for other users. I spent about an hour and a half trying to figure out why my keyframe status line was no longer visible in any of the effects dialog boxes. I tried "repairing" the application; rebooting; turning off anti virus
s/w--all without success. I began thinking corrupted files, problems with the app...
It turns out that while editing a file I moved the preview monitor & the effects dialog box around on the screen. While moving the effect dialog box I accidentally resized it. Actually I "pushed" that box upward, thereby eliminating the entire bottom half of the box. There was never any type of "hint" like an arrow to remind me that in reducing the size of the box, I effectively hid the all important keyframe timeline.
Pulling the window "down" revealed the mistake.
Hope this helps someone else.
