How to use mod maps (Windows Vista)?

from Elemental Forums

I am having trouble using mod maps.   The map that I want to use is the Mega Map that Frogboy posted the other day.

I have "using mods" checked in the options menu (and restarted the game).  I downloaded the mega map file from the mod library.  I am using Windows Vista.   The mega map file showed up in "users/name/documents/my games/elemental/maps".  It is the only map file in the folder.  All of the regular game maps are in "c:/program files/stardock games/elemental/data/maps".

When I start a new game only the orginal maps show up as options - not the mega map.

What else do I need to do in order to be able to use map mods?

From the description it looks like you did everything right, especially downloading it from the mod library, so it will automatically put it to right place, so not sure what's up here. I would probably suggest posting your problem in the Support Forum instead as they may be able to assist you better.
