A2A 172 Problems After Installing Mindstar GPS

I installed the gauges using the installer.  The installer created two models of the A2A 172 and the default C172.  The A2A has numerous issues as follows:

1.  The standard pop-ups don't display (hanger, weight/balance, etc)

2,  Many of the aircraft's knobs/buttons don't work or won't respond (example starter key)

3.  Aircraft won't start, even using the failsafe autostart.

I didn't not see anyone else with this problem, so I'm assuming it lies with my set-up.  Would appreciate any help.
