Did you clear the cache? Did you disable and then re-enable the code?

If so, can you post the code?

Make sure the names of your files, specials.info & specials.module, match the array name "files[] = specials.module". I'd forgotten the 's' and it took me a while to spot the mistake.

There must be something wrong with the version.. I am facing the same issue while using a more up to date version of drupal 7. Anyone find a fix yet?

I figured it out! The issue is that during the video the instructor adds quotes to values of the $items properties Example: 'type'=>'MENU_NORMAL_ITEM', should be 'type'=> MENU_NORMAL_ITEM (remove the single quotes around 'MENU_NORMAL_ITEM') . Go back to configurations > Development> performance> clear all cache then disable and enable the module again and viola!!!
