 I would try to double check the projection and units of the road and cities .TAB files. See if they would fall in with the country and inland waters map data. Also I would try to bring up the roads and cities in a different map file to test. Just to see what happens.
I have gotten in the habit of making all my maps the same projection before I load them. Simply because some people like making up there own projections.

Hi list,

I am doing a project on Malaysia - a country in southeast Asia, and I've got 
the country's map and the inland waters up but i could not get the roads and 
cities to be on the map. Can you guys help me out?

From,
