can't get eq2maps to work

[mallyce]

Howdy,
I am using windows 7 which I'm growing to hate.

Today I installed eq2maps to c:\programfiles(x86)\sonyonlineentertainment\installed games\everquestII\eq2map.exe

I go into my eq2 folder listed above, right click on eq2 map icon, rightclick, run as administrator.

The Eq2map updater screen comes up. It then says retrieving file manifest. It then says updating 1 of 635 files. Then it just sits there like a bump on a log. It stays stuck on updating 1 of 635 files. it stays stuck right at that point indefinitely. I have to close it to stop it.

It has the update from 1/26/2010 with all the nu'ruga maps.

I am at my wits end. I've looked through the threads here and can't find out what to do. I'm not very techy so this is a challenge.

HLEP!
