I have tried everything suggested. The only way my minimap shows is if I choose to intergrate mini into carbonite map. Or if I click the option to show original minimap nameplate. I have tried rest config an a reinstall. It has never worked since install.
Go to "path to your World of Warcraft folder\WTF\Account\ACCOUNT NAME\SavedVariables" folder. Look for the files labeled "Carbonite.lua" and Carbonite.lua.bak". Delete these two files. This will, basically, cause your Carbonite to act like you just installed it for the first time. BEAWARE!! This WILL reset Carbonite's configuration.
If you haven't tried this yet, it's worth a shot. If you've already tried it just ignore this post.
