Okay, I finally found time to play and managed to fix my problem.
Reading through the web site I found a message which talked about
get_dss not working. In this message was mention of the gunzip386.exe
program being needed. Well I checked my guide directory and found it
was missing. I downloaded the program into the guide directory and
low and behold my dss images are being pulled from the internet just
fine now.

One other note for Bill. I pulled the latest guide 8 update and after
backing up my guide7 directory extracted all the files to my guide
dir. The program works like a champ. I have not run into any problems
as of yet. I don't know what I'm missing though not having done a
full upgrade.
