Try this. In the file cream-behavior.vim, in function
Cream_behave_creamlite(), there is a set of lines:

    " mappings, clear
    imapclear
    vmapclear
    "nmapclear
    "omapclear

Put these two immediately following:

    " now put back Ctrl+B remap so menu items work
    inoremap <C-b>  <C-o>

That should re-enable all the menus for Cream Lite mode (if you are
insert or visual mode!). And since our Cream trap door Ctrl+B is not a
default keystroke in Vim's insert mode (see :help i_Ctrl-B), this
should not present a conflict for those trying to learn regular Vim. 

Does that help?
