I must say I am not as up to date on this stuff, but it used to make

cgi files myself but the perl cfgmaker used to build them for me or I
thought they did. I also used to see the cfgmaker run in the cmd
window, but it doesn't now so I may have broke something. Or am I
completely bonkers on this?

build the cgi files, what is wrong with the cfgmaker? Is there a way
to fix this or do I need to re install everything? I am using rrdtool
etc. I sure could use some help on this, thank you.

cfgmaker does not make any cgi files. It creates config files for
MRTG to use to query your targets and place the data in the rrd databases.
I don't use windows for mrtg, so am not 100% certain on command line
format, but try
perl -c cfgmaker
This will at lest verify that cfgmaker is visible to perl and if it
seems to be a valid perl script.
In rrd mode, mrtg does not make any html files or graphs. You need a
front end for that. I recommend routers2 for that purpose.

There are two modes to MRTG. 1) native 2)rrd
You stated you are now using rrd databases. In native mode, yes mrtg
did more, but using alot more CPU and was therefore limited as to how
many devices it scan. In rrd mode, all MRTG does in grab the data and
put it in databases. Indexmaker was the tool to make your html/cgi files
in native mode(I think, I use rrd and routers2 now).
