I'm having a similar problem today. The DSS/Real Sky Image
apparently downloaded but it doesn't show. When I change view
magnifications it flashes for a moment in the correct position but
it doesn't show through when the Guide 8 screen comes up. The Show
Images box is checked. But I can't get the image to burn thru the
Guide 8 screen.

At one time I turned off images. Now I can't seem to get them
back. Is there a setting I'm missing here? I'm quite sure that it
isn't a Guide 8 problem because a friend is running this version
too, and he has no problems.

Help!
