xml gauge Help

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been addressed before but I have searched the forums over the past 2 days and came up with nothing to help with my particular problem. I am trying to make xml files for gauges to show on my Saitek flight instrument gauges.

I am using xml files from CAB file gauges. I have changed their formatting to follow the formatting of the gauges that came with the FIP while retaining the elements particular to the gauge from the CAB file. I edit in notepad but when I SAVE AS XXXX.xml to the desktop the file saves, however when I double click on it there is NOTHING! However when I open the saved XXXXX.xml in notepad, the text is there.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? It has been awhile since I have done this and it is probably a format error but I don't know. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to make gauges for Saitek FIPs. I can't find one.

Thanks,

Joe
