I'm new at this and unfortunately have botched something as I try to come up to speed.

I'm running XP SP3. I installed the latest Mapsource and it seems to run.  

I downloaded the NE USA Topo Part 1 and ran its installer.  I had the installer use a folder on D: rather than the default since C: doesn't have much room.  The installer completed normally.  But Mapsource doesn't show a map in the left pane.  So I tried to use MapSetToolkit to install the map but after filling out the form its Install said: "Family ID exist".

I didn't install cgpsmapper because it isn't needed when using a map from GPSFileDepot.  Or at least it isn't used explicitly.  The tutorial says to load both MapsetToolkit and cgpsmapper before the flow splits and the path I took didn't need cgpsmapper.  But MapSetToolkit mentions cgpsmapper so now I'm not sure.  I prefer to install as few programs as possible but maybe I went too far here?

I expected the installer to make NE Topo show in Mapsource and wonder if this didn't happen because I installed in a non-standard place?


EDIT:  View/Switch to Product  showed NE Topo and selecting it made the map visible.
        View/Map Detail/Highest shows a nice Topo map

EDIT2:  Some areas of the map don't show roads.  The area around Lyndonville, VT has no roads, at 2mi scale there is a gray line around the area and roads end at that line -- Rt 91 is missing a section there.  Similarly for the area east of Lake Champlain & south of Rt 89.  Not sure if it was an install problem or the map is missing these details.

But Mapsource's left pane doesn't show it and it says 0 maps

How do I get Mapsource to recognize this map?
