need to restore default menu behavior/layout

Ok, I'm now running 1.02, upgraded from .13. My default bullet menu was working fine in .13, but somehow in the upgrade, it got screwed up (see
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 172.0.html). I've been working on this on and off for weeks, with no solution.
How can I restore the default menu layout/format/whatever?? I've copied default stylesheets from a fresh .13 install, copied default templates, and still the menu doesn't work right. What am I missing? Where is the menu behavior controlled? I'm a complete dunce when it comes to the Menu Manager, so if there's something I need to do there, please be specific.
I did not attempt to alter the default menu structure or behavior when I was running .13, so it appears that the 1.02 update must have been where the problem occurred, but I wouldn't think I'd be the only one with this issue.
Many thanks...

Not sure which bullet menu you used so here is both...
You will need to copy these into a new menu template and call it in your tag...
standard
{* CSS classes used in this template:
.currentpage - The active/current page
.bullet_sectionheader - To style section header
hr.separator - To style the ruler for the separator *}
{if $count > 0}
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
{elseif $node->index > 0}
{/if}
{if $node->current == true}
url}" class="currentpage"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}
{elseif $node->type == 'sectionheader'}
{$node->menutext}
{elseif $node->type == 'separator'}
{else}
url}"{if $node->target ne ""} target="{$node->target}"{/if}>{$node->menutext}{/if}
{/foreach}
{repeat string="" times=$node->depth-1}
{/if}
accessible...
{* CSS classes used in this template:
.activeparent - The top level parent when a child is the active/current page
li.active0n h3 - n is the depth/level of the node. To style the active page for each level separately. The active page is not clickable.
.clearfix - Used for the unclickable h3 to use the entire width of the li, just like the anchors. See the Tools stylesheet in the default CMSMS installation.
li.sectionheader h3 - To style section header
li.separator - To style the ruler for the separator *}
{if $count > 0}
{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth prevdepth}
{repeat string="" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
{elseif $node->index > 0}
{/if}
{if $node->current == true}
depth}">Current page is {$node->hierarchy}: {$node->menutext}{elseif $node->parent == true && $node->depth == 1}
url}"{if $node->accesskey != ''} accesskey="{$node->accesskey}"{/if}{if $node->tabindex != ''} tabindex="{$node->tabindex}"{/if}{if $node->titleattribute != ''} title="{$node->titleattribute}"{/if}>{$node->hierarchy}: {$node->menutext}{elseif $node->type == 'sectionheader'}

MARK, YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!
Now, here's my question. If I don't call a specific menu template in my page template, what menu template does the page template use? How can I edit that default template??
Right now I have the page looking good, thanks to your help. BUT, I had to create a new menu template and call it in my page template, as you suggested. What I want to do is edit (overwrite) the original default menu template with the code you provided, so that I can remove the "special" menu template call. How can I access that default template?

The default for {menu}, without a template call "template="***"",,, is the simple_navigation.tpl it is in the Menu Manager folder in templates /modules/MenuManager/templates/
if you FTP to your site you can overwrite it...
You have a backup on your computer in the CMSMS folder that you uploaded to your site from, so if anything goes wrong you can reupload that file...
