Guys, Ever since we updated to WC8, our title block system we developed does not display properly. I am sending you one typical drawing. The empty box at the upper right hand of the drawing formerly displayed our CVS logo. If I open this drawing in Simple Cad 32, the box is empty. If I open it in WC-8, you can refer to the .png of what my desktop looks like.

Is the image bound or linked?
You can check by clicking on the Images collection - Drawings>Format>Images...
If the image is reference by path then make sure that the image file is in the listed path or the same directory as the drawing file.
You now have the ability to bind the image to the document which will make the file bigger but the image moves with the file and you don't have to worry about linked images.

Chris, can you give me a call? Take control of my workstation? Guide my hand? Show me the manna from heaven? etc, etc?

Handled via phone. The image paths had changed.

Moved images to drawing folder. This fixed the initial problem. Then edited the template drawing to bind the image to the the document. This function is found in the Drawings>Format>Images... dialog.
