I have ran into another problem, after hours of blood sweat and tears I decided to post on here.
I am working on blend shapes, they were working great, so i went on to other parts in my project, now I want to check the blend shapes, so i go to window-animation-blendshapes to see the window, but nothing pops up

I also have tried to go into panels and do it that way but the word "blendshapes" is grayed out

Please help I am so frustrated.
I am using Maya 2011
