Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 HELP

[voltey]

I'm trying to learn Song Vegas 9.0 Pro.

Now when I try and add say some text a box pops up so you can change the colour etc.

Now for most of the boxes that pop up there should be a progress bar along the bottom of this box, all my boxes do not have this box meaning I cannot select the length of time that the effect should run for.

Is ther anyway of enabling this or am I missing something very easy.

Many thanks for your help.
