Saitek Pro Switch Panel, and throttle game profile

Can someone please help me.  I'm running FSX SP2 with WINXP 32 Bit I'm using a Saitek Pro Yoke System (works fine), and I just hooked up my Saitek Throttle Quadrant which only the trottle works not propeller or mix, and theSaitek Pro Switch Panel which doesn't do anything in the sim.  When I run the test app for the panel it works, but it doesn't work in the sim.  However I know it's atleast functional because when I hit landing gear on the keyboard the lights change on the panel  

Does anyone have any tips, or a gaming profile that includes the throttle quadrant, and panel?  

I tried saitek.com and when i look for drivers for winxp 32bit throttle quadrant the page 404's on me.

Please help :)

Well you might have to assign the buttons through settings/controls/buttons but for your throttle go to settings/controls/controller axis (or something like that) then find prop and throttle mixture then lets say for throttle mixture click new assignment then move the red or blue which ever one you want it should say like z/x axis or something like that. Then save your settings and that should get it to work. ;)

I guess the upgrade to FSX SP2 fixed it for me thanks for the tips on the throttle quadrant it worked also :)

I still might have to buy the switch panel, but I would have bought it in a heartbeat if it included a trim wheel on it.

yeah it's awesome really adds to the experience the yoke has trim but a wheel would have been a cool add on to the throttle quadrant
