no map or poi, eq2 installed in diff folder

[nymbous1]

everything on the map updater settings points to the correct location, perhaps its more a problem with the game, this is a fairly new computer and when i downloaded the game off the website i now have to use the station launcher to access eq2, when i go thru the sony\everquest2 folder and click on the .exe file it will not bring up the updater it just launches the game in goes through the loading screens and a window pops up with username and password
