Sometimes the maps downloaded are contained within a .zip file. Make sure the files you have are .pk3

just make sure that you only put in the ".pk3" file into the base folder. (definetly not an OS Problem)

Because they use Windows and don't realize that pk3=zip.

But these people are mappers, I would like to think they know a bit about the system.
