Can't set keyframes anymore

oldblock

Something has gone wrong somewhere. I have been having problems both with Timeline and aniMate so in an attempt to cleanse any corruption of the scene I was attempting to edit I have started a new scene.
To keep things simple the new scene contains a flower and two lights and aniMate2 is not activated. With practice test runs in mind I have set up a simple bob up and down routine using the Parameters Tab and clicking on the Timeline + key. After a few settings I hit play and nothing happens. The key frame markers are still there but the values do not show up in the Parameters tab.
I've been grappling with this problem for a couple of weeks and I thought I had fixed it but I'm back to square one. Evidently something is corrupted somewhere and I'm thinking un-install and start again. This raises the question of how to un-install, the DAZ file structure strikes me as being a little different to some so I thought it best to get some advice from those that know.
So here I am.
Help!
