Have tried reloading/downloading DSS but still the same.
any ideas philip
ps have never had problems with this software , the first pic below is one of the pics stacked ,the second is the result

Are you stacking with bias/darks etc?
If so, try stacking just lights and see if it still occurs.
Two other things: Once stacking is done, try resetting the color sliders (bottom left). There should be a reset button there somewhere.
And: If you have hot pixel detection on, try turning it off. There is another area in the settings for bad pixel detection as well, turn that off too. Finally, try a different combination method. So try median or sigma clipping etc.
I also got weird results with DSS when i was using it. Sometimes i found an entire color channel was way off, so the image just looked wrong.
Othertimes i got images with rediculous coloring and oversaturation. I stopped using bias files and the coloring fixed itself, and with the color channel issue i turned off hot pixel detection and the colors where then alinged. Sometimes i do all this and they still look terrible, so i go and try a different combination method and all is good.
DSS has given me a lot of issues, so i use PI's stacking which seems to work great, although it is much slower and bring your PC to its knee's.
