    anytime i put a formula into the y= i get an error invalid dim. i just want to graph, so does anyone know what's going on? i looked in the manual about fixing the problem, but it just talked about dimensions, mostly in relation to matrices, which doesnt have anything to do with plotting a little graph that i want. please help!!

This happened to me as well. i looked it up and heres what i found:
http://www.prenhall.com/divisions/esm/app/graphing/ti83/faq/faq.html

basically you have a stat plot on so to turn it off, press 2nd and then the Y= button to get to "Stat Plot"
one of them is turned on so press enter and select OFF. this should fix the problem!

If the message appears when you try to graph functions deactivate the statistical plots. To do so:

Press [2nd][Y=] to access (STAT PLOTs)
Select [4:PlotsOff] then [ENTER]

That should solve your problem. Post a comment to this thread if you still have trouble graphing.If the message appears in another context, it sure would help knowing the context of the error.
