Registry updates in Windows 7 don't always go to where you expect if you 
don't run the thing that updates the registry as Administrator.  In the 
case of new maps, it'll update your personal area which Mapsource won't 
then look at.

If you run whatever it is that you run to add the maps as administrator 
(right click the icon and that'll be on the menu) all should be OK.

Cheers,
Andy
