Editing the meny

I am attempting to edit the menu in main.dwt in ps3 and am having the same problem that I see many others are having. What I get is:


The Database Connection(s) required for this content do not exist in this site. Please create the following connections to use this preset:

Connection: PowerStoreConnection
================================
Table: categories
Columns: CategoryName, CategoryID, CategoryParent

did I upload something wrong? what should I change...any help is appreciated.

and it goes into a continuous loop so I have to kill the process. I have tried moving the menustyle.xml from CSSMenuWriter\cssmw_admin to CSSMenuWriter\cssmw_home directory only to discover that it was already there. I moved the copy over anyway just in case. I disabled some extensions, deleted the wincachefile, then tried to edit the menu in another site I have developed (not powerstore). It worked fine so back to ps3 and ...nope same problem.

Any other suggestions? How have the others resolved it?

For now all I want to do is change the padding and maybe the font size on the dropdowns. I could do that by hand if I know where. Is it done in both the admin and home menu.css?

However there may be other things I want to edit and would love to know what I'm missing here. I notice something about changing a couple of lines back in the menu.php but mine look like the suggestions right now so I haven't reached that stage yet.

Thank you.
