cannot open resource file & missing character color option

having 2 problems and unsure if they are related to each other or not.

Running indesign cs6 v8.0.1 with no more updates showing in the Updater.

When I open the program it gives me the error "cannot open resource file." this isnt too annoying as i just click ok and im on my way to work. however when i have a new paragraph style or character style, i have no option of choosing charater color. Shouldnt I have this option under "bullet and numbering?"

this is the error upon opening i see
