I upgraded to CM 7.1.0 with ROM manager and now when I attempt to access the android market it does not load and just brings me back to the main screen. Is there another step I need to take to get this working?
That is a good bet. In which case I would start by using Titanium Backup>Google Services Framework and wipe data. If you can't find it under TB or that doesn't work then go into Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>Google Services Framework>Clear Data and Force Stop. Then reboot and hopefully issue fixed.
