I have them enabled in tools, can see the macros, run is an option, but nothing happens when I run them.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Are you using Windows Vista or Windows 7, please check your UAC settings for running marcos.
Or you can try to run Visual Studio as Administrator.
I hope this can be helpful for you.

I had this problem too. After multiple attempts to fix it, looking at things like permissions etc.
I discovered it was a stupid mistake I made.
I had another macro in another module that didn't compile (I had semi-colons at the end of lines).
Even though I was running a macro in a different module it didn't seam to matter.
If you are having this problem an easy thing you can check is: look in the error list for any errors in your code. For a C++ or C# developer it's very easy to put semi-colons at the end of your lines out of habit.

I am having the exact same problem, but in VS 2005. It just started recently. I've checked that Macros are enabled, and I have permissions. I'm running as an admin under Windows 7 with UAC turned off. I can't run any macro, not even any of the samples. I also checked under "View / Error List..." and there are no errors or warnings. I've tried running any macro in debug mode, setting a breakpoint on the first line of code, and it never gets there. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks,
Mark
