Have you put them in your personal folder properly?

You probably have the track in an extra sub-folder. Instead of
"C:\Program Files\MX Simulator\mytrack\mytrack"
it should be
"C:\Program Files\MX Simulator\mytrack"

"mytrack" is just an example. Say you downloaded a track named "TheGuyCooperCompound.zip". Depending on how you extract it you might find that it puts what it extracts in a folder named after the zip file, in this example "TheGuyCooperCompound". Inside that folder there will be another folder, usually identically named, e.g. "TheGuyCooperCompound/TheGuyCooperCompound". That prevents the track from finding its files. You just want the inner folder.
This is why track makers should use saf files.
