Can't add new AddOns!

I have several Addons, all of which are working ok. I recently downloaded the latest update to Flightmap, which I had used in the past with no problems. But it doesn't show up as a button in my Addon page. As an experiment, I downloaded another small Addon, and it also doesn't show up. I tried moving all of the Addon files to my desktop, deleting the Addon folder in the WoW Interface, creating a new one, and moving things back. My old addons still show up, but not Flightmap.
I have Windows XP. I did the usual routine- downloaded the file, extracted the files using the Windows extraction tool, and moved the Flightmap folder to my Addon folder (exactly like I have done many times). So why can't I see Flightmap, or the other new Addon?

open them up in your addons folder...

you should see a toc file, if you see another folder with the name of the addon instead (duplicate), you'll need to put that in addons folder instead.

If this isn't the case, I'm clueless what your problem could be.

Also make sure you're looking in the correct directory. If you're on Vista, and had the game in Program Files, you would have been asked upon updating to 3.0 to move the game to a different location. If you said yes, it's now in C:\Public\Games\... or somesuch.

Oops - sorry, I guess my eyes glazed over on the XP part... Thanks, Yhor, for pointing it out to me. My guess is what Yhor suggested, then.

OK- I'm an idiot! The button was in my list, but it is labelled "Dhask's Flightmap V3.0-2", not just "Flightmap". When I moved my eyes up, I found it!
However, I still have a problem- I can't bring up the Flightmap options screen. I use Metamap, and when Flightmap is installed, an entry appears in the map options for Flightmap. But when I select it, I get an error msg:

Hmm could you maybe try that with the default map/another map addon?

Can't get Flightmap options window

I unchecked Metamap, which made the Flightmap options button on the map go away, but the key thing is that whether Metamap is enabled or not, when I type "Flightmap", which according to the Readme file is supposed to bring up the Flightmap options window, I just get 3 lines in the chat window, saying that I can enter "Help" (which just re-displays the 3 lines), "Open" (which does work; it opens the window that you get when you talk to a flightmaster), or another which don't recall exactly, which lets you reposition the duration bar. There is no way to get at the Flightmap options (e.g., show the terminals that you haven't actually been to yet).

Well it is ... but I wasn't sure if you meant you literally typed "Flightmap"

Can't access Flightmap options

Yes, that was a typo. I actually tried both /fmap and /flightmap.

Flightmap's configuration menu is now accessible through the Blizzard Main Menu at Interface/AddOns/Flightmap.
