Okay, I was able to resolve my problem. I used MapSetToolKit to manually install the img files from the CaTopo directory and was now able to see all the detail for Calif. I also had done a lot of installs and uninstalls, so possibly the tip by Darto was what was causing my problem. I was using basecamp, not mapsource and didn't have very many map products to select, so it's hard to say if wrong selection was causing me the problem. And I had started with mapsource 2004 initially installed and maybe the uninstall left some debris that caused my problems with basecamp. 

Okay, tried on a second computer and had the same problem. This computer also had a older version of mapsource, so I don't have a clean machine to test with.

Then I downloaded Arizonia Topo and it works okay so the problem is with the California Topo. I'll rebuild the Calif installer as it appears that all the .img files are there once it is installed. Wouldn't have time to do this until week of 5/24. I did notice that Arizonia has a .mdx file, there isn't one for Calif. Don't know if this is the cause of the problem.

Thanks but I don't think that is the answer. I can see items around San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay and can zoom in on those area. Adjacent quadrants (not sure if this is the correct term) are blank. Roads, lakes that I can view in one quadrant just terminate as they enter the next quadrant. They do this at the boundary between the quadrants in a perfectly straight line.

I'm going to reinstall on a different computer that never had mapsource installed. I had a much earlier version of mapsource installed on this computer and even though I uninstalled the older version, possibly something is corrupted.   

I just found this site and thought I would look at the Calif Topo. I downloaded and clicked to install. Both Mapsource and Basecamp seem to recognize the installation as it shows as a map product. But only a small area around San Francisco appears, the rest of Calif is blank in both Mapsource and Basecamp. I've done 2 installs of Calif Topo with the same result.

Help, tips would be appreciated.

Thanks
