Have figured out that the not able to save problem is due to a change in "file name path" of where the related menu info is stored in my computer..... though I copied the the Menu Maker files to a new computer, the new computer was given a different "name" than the other.... consequently, the file path in the new computer is not identical to the original thus the folders cannot be found, etc. The fix will be to delete the menu bar on the effected sites, pull up the template created for the specific site, reinstall (to every related page) save, etc.... Hope this info helps someone else who experiences the same issue.
