This final section deals with common issues you may experience when creating custom menu
designs. As you build button layouts, refer to this section for hints or further clarification.
• DVD Menu Maker or MMH will not launch (open) on my computer
1 – Verify that the free Quick Time 6 player (from Apple) is installed on your computer.
2 – Confirm that Picture Viewer and File Converter are included in the installation.
Runtime 6 Error – Overflow
Check the MMH Settings in the registry for the MMH window location. Both MainLeft and
MainTop should NOT be zero or a negative value. If either value is zero, manually set
the value to 1000 and try launching MMH again.
