Heya SM

I hope I can find a solution here. I am drawing a complete blank when I try figure out what the problem is......Anyways here is my problem....

I have completed rigging a character, so now I have begun the task that everyone loves doing..hehehe....painting skin weights! Yay!!!...anyways..hehe..I am not able to paint weights. Not even with the component editor?? It gives me a warning message:

// Warning: Specified weight could not be set due to locked influences. //

And it does nothing. I am going through all my steps, and have no clue why this is happening. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
