You using any custom UI or just the default ?
If you installed the eq2map auto updater, you can check the "option" button to make sure the correct UI is selected under the "UI Director" column.
Might also want to put a "tick" under the "Ask to overwrite MainHUD.Map" then click ok and do an update again. Once the update is done "untick" it.
You should see an "eq2map" folder in you UI directory. Inside your UI directory you should see a folder called "images" and inside this folder you should see "maps" folder.
Basically those are the main things for the map mod to work.

Right click the link you use to start eq2, click properties and then Find Target (Assuming that still exists under Vista). Then go to the UI subfolder. There should be an EQ2MAP subfolder. If there is not, you installed to the wrong path. Oh, and as it's Vista, I assume that as always you need to run everything as administrator.

So you should see the following:
1. "eq2maps" folder inside your "<eq2 diretory>/UI/Default" folder
2. "maps" folder inside your '<eq2 diretory>/UI/Default/Images" folder
Also open up your "eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml" file and see if you can see something like what i posted below inside:

3. Oh and like gm9 mentioned, you need adminstrator rights for vista (usually the case for most vista problems)

Yes that's correct. You can double check your eq2.ini in your Everquest II\ folder, it should point to EQ2MAP, but the updater should create that automatically.

Does the popup you see when typing /loadui in game list eq2map? What happens if you load it?

after you loaded the default UI? Yeah, that command is evil.
Actually I don't remember whether EQ2MAP should show up under /loadui so ignore my question above.
