I just installed the a320 "pa320aih" to fs2002 but I get "MS FS2002 was unable to load some 3rd party software"  

file gauges\a320.gau

and the virtual cockpit has some gauges are black displays (I guess this is linked to the above)  ...I would appreciate it if you can please show me how to be able to load this 3rd party software and so that the virtual cockpit is fully functional

thanks a lot and waiting for a quick response

I don't have this panel but I have see this type of error in numerous posts.  It is either, or a combination of,

1. Missing or misconfigured gaugesound.dll.

2. Missing or misconfigured fsuipc.dll

For FS2002 you only need fsuipc 2.x.  3.x will work but you will have to register the program or indivisual gauges and it does not add any more functionality to FS2002.

Re-read the installation instructions or see the more detailed instructions here http://emarciano.flightsimmer.com/

This could also be caused by FSSound.dll. In this case a simple FS2002.cfg tweak should fix it. Add this entry including the exact names of the appropriate modules.

[OLDMODULES]
GaugeSound.dll=1
fssound.dll=1
SOARRec.dll=1

Yes, I forgot about gaugesound.dll.
