[amelia] Problem with starting Amelia

Hello! Some time ago I scientifically began to deal with the problem of missing data analysis, especially multiple imputation. While trying to use Amelia for Gauss I approached a real problem. I tried to make some imputations on my data with five interval variables. Two of them were MCAR. As in the example in the manual: new; library amelia; _AMepri=3; dbuf = amelia("miss"); ***** "miss" is my data name I tried to start Amelia, but instead of imputation I received info: C:\gauss\miss.dht: (CODE NUMBER: ....) File NOT FOUND. I verified if data is OK, changed its name, but nothing helped. What can be wrong? I use Gauss for Windows 3.2.33. Thank you for help in advance!
