I just purchased the 737NG from you guys and I installed it without a hitch...Then I go into FS to load the aircraft up to get my reg. number (or whatever it's called) and I get this error:Unable to load 3rd Party Software GAUGESPMDG_737NG_Main.GAUWhat does this mean??I didn't have any issues during the install....:(Any help would be greatly appreciated, my specs are in my sig.!!!!!!!!!!

Hello ShaneDid you follow the instructions on the PMDG website and install GDIHere is what they state for non winXP machines:GDI+ install--------------PLEASE follow the instructions on Microsoft's web site about installing GDI+ on your NON-WindowsXP PC. The link can be found here:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release...releaseid=32738CheersJulie

Yeah, sure did.I did install it after the aircraft installation though.I guess I'll try a re-install and see what happens.I haven't requested registration or anything like that so is that all I need to do??

Also, how do I un-install without losing crucial files?Like I stated above I haven't even actually loaded the aircraft up to fly yet, I merely choose it in the aircraft menu and clicked "OK"...NOT "Fly".I don't want to remove this aircraft if it is going to be a hassle requesting new liscenses and such. What is the best way around this issue?Should I just re-install over my old installation??Any and ALL help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!After "RTFM" I decided to put the GDI files in the Root FS2002 Folder. *:-*The installation notes here recommended the System folder but MS recommended against it due to a possible "Windows FIle Protection Error" if one of the current system files is over-written.THANK THE GOOD LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well, off to get my registration stuff in order!!:)

hi!how did you do that??? i have the same problem , but i do not understand, what the problem really is! ...also 3rd party software maingauge error after loading the aircraft....can you help me out?thanxsam
