Good to hear you got it working (you got some clear skies!).
There are two ways you can get video into metaguide, through WDM windows driver or via a 'third party' program. See if the 'Capture.AS' (presume you using that) can generate a live video stream of the camera. Then metaguide should be able to see that (not sure how to do that for the DMK, it may happen automatically when you restart metaguide).
With the EZPlanetary program from my QHY5L-ii camera I can provide a live video stream from that program. In metaguide I can grap that as the video feed. This provide better control of the camera settings (gain and fps in particular but also ave. dark subtraction etc).
This may help improve the stability.
The manual written by Frank is very good and provide some good initial settings. I have my frame rate at about 8 fps (actually tune it to about 9 fps, 110-125ms periods). Then if there are any major drops in the frames metaguide can still follow through.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Bram
