Make sure your map has short name and not long name. Most user finds problem on not seeing maps if their map name is long.

Yeah, if the name is too long, it won't show in wc3. I experienced that problem

Some maps are like that. I've downloaded a map from Epicwar.com that had a god long name but I can't play it because even though it's in my map folder it's name was too long. You should change the name of the map via Editor. Good luck if the map's protected!

I think he only need to change the name of file, not in WE but okay...

Do you have 2 wc3s? If so, maybe you've placed it in the wrong one.

The hell I think that's probable. (RoC and TFT?)

It is possible I have two Warcrafts. One in my compatibilty files and one in another location.

 

[Daffa]

One for play and one for backup

I usually have 2 wc3s, the other one is for backup incase the main one becomes corrupted or broken.

It could also be the same problem as this guy had:

Wow, it has short name... that means either your problem is the game's name is too long and if its protected, it is unplayable or either you have 2 Warcraft 3 nd you saved it in the wrong Warcraft.

But there is also a possibility that map is corrupted.

I had this problem, but it only happened to me when I put the maps in my own new folder. Maybe you should try moving the maps between folders?

 

[Hashjie]

Is there perhaps a lock icon next to the files/folder you are trying to access in warcraft 3 (use explorer to check)?
If so, check out the thread I've mentioned earlier.
I've tested your map in my wc3 and it seems to work just fine for me.
