three things to consider,vista/w7 both have a compatibility files trick that hides the files put under program files from programs accessing the folders to index/read files, so check if you have a compatibilty folder and if the map is in it if it is then move the map to the galaxy folder.
second is which version of galaxy forge was used to create the map ie v1.1 for sins 1.1+ & entrenchment or v1.0 for sins 1.2-1.05
third how many players, stars and planets in the map? the more players ,then the more stars then more planets will move the map UP the map size selector ie 2-3 player maps are in small,4-6 in medium and 6+ in large, and the map designer in custom maps
hope this helps
