Actually we're having the same problem on our Laptops.
(Ugh, my PC is a totally different story now but... I digress)
I checked and the plugin is turned on.
It says I don't have the mesh files for the zone.
When I press the "Update Mesh Files" button, the navigation N,S,E,W art comes up but the program just sits at the bottom of the windows bar, if I mouse over it, it just looks like a black empty DOS prompt from back in the day.
I'm trying to search the forums now for a solution but I am not finding anything.
I reinstalled MQ2 on this Laptop and maybe I didn't merge the two or whatever it's called. The Migrate button? or should it still work regardless? Everything else seems to work.
Edit: I realize this is an old thread but it sounded exactly like what I'm dealing with so....
Edit Edit: I'm watching your video now, wise one, I did not see the link!
Edit Edit Edit: @48 seconds where he says to press the Update button, his opens where mine doesn't even get past the loading Art.
