Suddently, every time I attempt to round the corners of a shape in illustrator, I get a message that says "This will apply another instance to this effect". When I select "Apply New Effect", nothing happens. I am confused because the word instance is ambiguous and not descriptive at all.
If someone could help me resolve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Just like Scott mentioned in the comments, you should really look at your Appearance Panel. (If you can't find it in your sidebar go to the Window tab and look for Appearance like Vicki mentioned).
You should find the Rounded Rectangle there, click on it and "play" with the Shape Options.
This should be it.
