What?

im using the stand alone world at war not steam

What version of WaW are you using? Steam or Stand alone. Have you tried running the Map Manager as Administrator?

If you know how to activate 'Hidden files & Folders' in windows, do so and then navigate to your...

C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Activision\CoDWaW\mods

*John = Your own username

and make sure the mods are in the folder.

im using stand alone and yes i have tried admin
i have also checked the folder and they are there 

hi there,
first post(just registered) met u through ngtzombies, u guys are awsome, so i thought i would download some of the maps that they play, i downloaded a few (cabin, christmas etc.) but for some reason they are not listed in mod mods area 
i have also used the tools drop down on the launch and it just launches the game normally
any ideas on how to get this working?
thx
