I downloaded the maps from mapfiend but I can't figure out how to use them in game.. whenever I try to extract them to Everquest maps folder I keep getting an error like this
! C:\Users\Sarodare\Downloads\mapfiend_ALL.zip: Cannot create abysmal_1.txt
! Access is denied.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
Thanks in advance

You need to set the folder to have read and write permissions. Right-click on the maps folder, select Properties. On the first tab, uncheck Read-Only. In Vista, you also need to go to the Security tab, select your user name, click Edit, select your user name on the new list, in the bottom list, uncheck any Deny, and hit Ok, hit Ok.
Windows 7 should be similar.
EDIT: Just in case you needed some other info, after fixing this:

I got vista and I'm doing what you said but it doesn't save it when I set to unread or when I adjust the user rights

Might look at this:
http://www.vista4beginners.com/Change-permissions-take-ownership
It's a bit more thorough that what I said. Also, if you're using a zip program, like Winzip, you can try running it as Administrator (right-click on the icon, and select Run as Administrator).
If your EQ is installed the Program Files (x86) directory, you may need to move it to a different folder. I'm not sure what all the issues are with Vista in regards to this, but I couldn't get EQ to run at all from there, and so moved it from the start.

So how did you figure it out, I'm having the same problem? Also which dir are the maps actaully in, I see a atlas dir and a map dir which both appear to contain the map files in the x86 section and another dir of maps in the non 86 section and I've tried coping maps into all 3.
everquest\maps, by default for vista, that would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Everquest\maps.
To find out for sure which directory, right-click on the link to EQ, select properties, in the window, select Short cut tab, check out the start in text box. That's the base EQ directory, maps go in the maps subdirectory.
Also check out the other other links in the previous posts.
