no map or poi, eq2 installed in diff folder

[nymbous1]

i have my eq2 installed in a different location then c:\programfiles(86x)\sony or whatever i have it at D:\games\sony\everquest ||

i'm running vista 64 and i have gone to the options and changed the file paths so it routes to D:\games\sony\everquest ||\eq2.exe and D:\games\sony\everquest || but it still comes up with the must start manually message. its downloaded all the map files and such but they arent viewable in game
