if all else fails and you can not get menu maker to work on its own, then I would imagine you have a bad install. Do not worry, it takes about 5 minutes to uninstall and reinstall MM and all the template packs, (if you have them handy, ie downloaded).
If Zee's suggestion does not work. Close FP, then open MM by itself. thow together a quickie menu and "save it" then make sure you have a .html and .js named with whatever you called it. If you do, then make sure you have the xaramenu.js file in the same directory and 2 graphics for every button in the main menu.
for example, if you had a 4 button bar and had saved it as loricanon then your files should look like this...
loricanon_b2_over.gif
loricanon_b4_over.gif
loricanon_b3_over.gif
loricanon_b1_over.gif
loricanon_b3.gif
loricanon_b4.gif
loricanon_left.gif
loricanon.html
loricanon.js
loricanon_right.gif
loricanon_b1.gif
loricanon_b2.gif
xaramenu.js
Every time I play with MM, the menu uses the last setup that was loaded. Mine always preloads my loricanon text, links etc. If you are not seeing anything, maybe it might be best to reload MM...
If you are seeing a toolbar in the preview, then MM has actually already created a temporary menubar for you. It is located at the address in your address bar... For example, it might be something simular to this...
C:\Documents and Settings\John Rayner\Local Settings\Temp\XMM\preview38.htm
preview38.htm is the temp name of all the parts...
