first time posting.. spent two years learning revit starting with revit 8..

operations i learned two years ago i either forgot or they don't work

anymore with revit 08.. seems like an ongoing cycle of uselessness

for me but i'm too mad to quit.. my first question is about keynotes..

the video shows to open a training project and go to a section view and hit

keynote>element>free-end and then just click an element in the

view- lol..  here's what actually happened.. first it says no keynote

family loaded.. ok fine i go to the imperial library and load the keynote tag..

then i click the element in the view like the video shows and instead

of getting a nice text label in a little box i get this message: "Unable to

load Keynote data. Check Keynote table location in Keynoting Settings."

i went to the keynote settings and browsed to the imperial txt pad and

found a sea of numbers next to a long list of text .. is there a way to

just label an element with a keynote without going through

a massive unsolved mystery?

There is no real mystery, you just need to understand how key notes work.  Instead of following a video, I suggest you spend some time with the very well written REVIT help.  In addition, this subject is covered in the free to subscribers hard copy "Imperial Tutorials" and "User's Guide".  If you don't have those, you will not progress very far.

Yes, you don't need the .txt file if you aren't scheduling the keynote. I've never needed to schedule the notes as i don't use the CSI indexing, just the label. You have to define what the keynote will be in the properties of each material though and then you should be able to tag away.
