not sure if this is the issue, but some gauges that activate sounds need a dll to be placed in the main FS9 folder. And if it's not it will cause a CTD.

You might check to see where that gauge expects the sound file to be. Some require it in the panel folder, some in teh gauge folder (some in a folder in the gauge folder), and some want it in the main FS9 folder, and I have seen one that wants it in its own sound folder.

Can you post the name of the problem gauge? Maybe someone here will have their memory jogged by the name.
Is it a C-type (.GAU) gauge or is it XML (.CAB or folder)?

Like Milt said, there are several places that the gauge will expect to find the sound file.

In the case of a C-style gauge, there really isn't any way to disable the gauge calling for that missing sound file that I'm aware of...short of rebuilding the gauge from it's source code.
If it's an XML gauge, the you should be able to browse through the XML source files to find the name of the missing file and probably the path it's supposed to be at.

I cant find the gauge. maybe it was never put in, and thats the problem.Anyways it's for the project mach 2 concorde wipers. your suppose to be able to turn them on and off by using a panel switch and when I turn the switch on thats, when I get the ctd and, fs9 error described in my earlier post.Thanks
