These Maps aren't working for me - HELP

ok. i used to have cool EQ maps. they were amazingly labeled, in color with great detail. then i had to reformat my hard drive, reload EQ and i have maps only of pok and some of the oldest zones. so i came here and dl all the maps and followed the installation instructions to a T. still, no maps.

where are those wonderful color maps i used to have? does anyone know? and why is mapfiend such a popular place for maps if i follow instructions and still cannot see them.

i see a bunch of questions like this on this forum, but i don't see any answers.

can someone please answer this once and for all.
