Question At a Loss

I have tried for 2 days with no success to get EQ2Maps to work. For some reason my PC detects the default maps insteed of EQ2Maps.

Things I have done.

-Made sure there is only one EQ2 program.
-Made sure that EQ2Maps folder is in my EQ2 UI folder. C:\Program Files\EQ2\UI\EQ2MAP
-Re-loaded EQ2Maps.
-Checked .ini files and it list EQ2Maps. (file attached)
-Checked UI settings in game and it only offers me 3 choices for UI (EQ2, EQ, and Other). I have tried all 3 with ni change.
-Deleted all UI's and reloaded them.
-All of the maps are in my EQ2Maps folder located at C:\Program Files\EQ2\UI\EQ2MAP\images\maps

I have also attached my UI files so everyone can see where everything is within it.

If there is anyone who can help please provide steps to correct.

Thanks in advance.

Do you start EQ2 via it's icon, or by letting the EQ2Map updater autostart it? If the former, right-click on the EQ2 launcher icon you use to start the game and select Properties and see if the Target location is "C:\Program Files\EQ2\LaunchPad.exe". If the latter, pull up Options in the EQ2Map updater and confirm that the Autolaunch EQ2 setting is "C:\Program Files\EQ2\LaunchPad.exe". From the window frame in your images you're using Windows 8 and EQ2 by default there doesn't install under "C:\Program Files", it installs under "C:\ProgramData". It's possible you have 2 installations of EQ2 with EQ2Map updating one but the other being used to actually launch the game.

You can do as tknarr says, or

Open the eq2 launcher , not eq2map launcher.

In the lower left side of the window is a button named "Advanced Tools".
Press it and then Press "Open Game Directory"

Open the UI folder and make sure the EQ2MAP files are there.

Arrow Still Lost

I do use the EQ2Maps program on game startup. It updates the files then opens EQ2.

I have checked both the EQ2 settings directory and insured that EQ2Maps has that directory identified as were to start the program from. This directory is also the directory that I drew the ini files (attached above) and where my EQ2Maps UI is installed.

I have attached screenshots of both directories. Not sure that this makes a difference or not but I bought a new computer and since I am in Afghanistan I removed my EQ2 program from my old PC and copied it to my new one. I don't see where that would be an issue since EQ2 works fine but thought I would mention it.

Default Fixed

Not sure what was going on. I deleted my EQ2.EXE file and after it reloaded using the EQ2 Launcher closing out and re-opening with EQ2Maps everything works.

Thanks for the help!
