I have loaded spectral data, but the buttons are still grayed out?

This is not a bug! It is important to understand that the mat2dcos toolbox was originally developed for heterospectral 2D correlation analysis (2D-COS). This means that spectral series from two different modalities are analyzed. For example, if IR and Raman data are to be analyzed by heterospectral 2D-COS, two different spectral series must be loaded into the toolbox. For the probably more common case of autocorrelation 2D-COS, this means that the data set to be analyzed has to be loaded twice, once as x- and a second time as y-data set. Only then will the buttons be available for analysis.
