Hi Ron,Run the Wizard again and just uninstall X Guage and reinstall.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thanks,I'll try that.I don't think I've done a batch file since my DOS days.How do it do it for the above to get xgauge working faster?Thanks,Ron

Hi Ron,Just try it for ASX, as X Gauge is a part of that.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thanks,but how exactly do I do that?I am not a guru,but I can get the basics done.Ron

Could you please tell me exactly how to create the batch file?Thanks,Ron

I uninstalled and reinstalled.Still have only black box in Lear.Gauge buttons change if I minimize FS and the go full scrren.Thanks,Ron

Hi,Please post your panel.cfg from your Lear.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Will do,but it won't be for quite awhile.Thanks for the response.Ron

Hi Rhett,Thanks for the help.Did as you instructed and got error message:Windows cannot find C:programmerHiFiXEngineXEengine.exe ect.When I opened the DOS box it went to C:documents and settinguser and I could not get it to go just C:.Could that be my problem?Thanks,Ron

Hi Ron,That panel cfg. is all messed up. I will try and send you mine.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Jim,Thank you.That did the job.I don't know why my panel.cfg was messed up but stuff happens.I am an old guy and I have been FS ing since my first Tandy.I am just not a guru but I enjoy solving problems(Comes from algebra,trig,etc.) with FS.Now if I could just get that batch file thing figured out I would be happy.I really am enjoying ASX.I have never used real weather before this.I thought it would tax my machine plus I finally talked myself into DSl.Works great!Thanks for the support.Ron

Where is your ASX installed?Your batch file needs to point to where your XEngine.exe file is. I don't know where you installed it...but that is where the command should point to.Mine is E:FSToolsASXRhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian
