Hi Glen,

Before you do the following, back up toolbar.dat, guide.dat, and
startup.mar "just in case."

Copy guide8.zip to your Guide root directory, and unzip it there. It
will open with the files you already saw. Click Extract, browse to
your Guide directory (unless it is already set to that), then click
Okay. Any changed files will be installed, overwriting the older files.

Actually, you can open it anywhere as long as you extract it to your
Guide directory. I do it as a matter of course to keep the most
recent guide.zip handy.
