Even then, it really doesn't seem correctly set up because various menus aren't visible as described on the internet. Has anyone had similar problems, and can suggest what to do?

I'm guessing the "rooting" was accomplished, but the all of the programs weren't necessarily set to the correct settings. Do you have button saviour running - look for a little arrow on the right side of the screen - you should be able to tap on the arrow, and the buttons will pop up, then you can tap the home button and it should allow you to select the ADW home instead of the default (Nook) home.
If you can get into ADW, check and see in the app drawer if you have Nook Color Tools. IF you do then you should be able to tweak/salvage everything that you need to.
If not, there are ways to install it, but it might be easier to walk through the steps to reset the Nook to original settings, and then re-root (and I would suggest you try the manual nooter process and see if that works better for you).
