Gauges and Windows 7

Greetings,

Just installed Windows 7 32 bit on my 10 year old rig:

Pentium D 930 3 GHZ

Asus 9500 GT 1 GB DDR2

4 GB DDR2

Everything is chugging along nicely, except for a few problems within FS9. Before I start i just want to say that all drivers have been updated, and I even loaded older drivers for my video card that I was using in Windows XP to see if it helped with problems within FS9. Now for the problem(s) some of the gauges don't load, or they do load...but end up crashing/freezing FS9. The gauges that are wrecking havoc are the ones for the Stratojet Excalibur...EICAS, and Mini-Display. Has anybody else had any issues with these gauges or others??? I have ran FS9 in several compatibility modes, and nothing seems to work. I have tried different settings in the Nvidia Control panel, and nothing seems to work. At this point of time I have deleted those gauges, and currently writing a few gauges in XML to compensate for the loss. If anybody could share so insight into this, or have any ideas (including new rig, or video card) I would be grateful.
