new computer loads map but not into EQ2 game

[farsheildescale]

have new computer. windows vista home premium SP1 64 bit intel dual core. downloaded map 1,2,3. shows on desk top and in programs. will not apply itself into EQ2. only map that shows in eq2 is the (i believe) original with no poi's etc.

i tried using "run as admin" and not using "run". i downloaded the suggested items listed in the instructions. i can't find a program that will read eq2map123 in order to run it although i browsed through all that are available except office (don't want office).

directions please.

i am not very computer literate (sorry to say)
