Axis and Ohs: Help and questions

I’m sorry if I could not describe my problem clear enough. But, good news, it’s running now. I was struggled due to fact, that obviously nothing should happen, when I change gauges in the FIPs configuration window (and of cause sim has to run). But in background it do. I now have 4 FIPs in use and everyone shows the chosen instrument. One last question:
I would like to disable the labels right beside the buttons 1-6. I deleted the text of every button and klicked on “change gauge” and activated “Saitek FIPs enabled” in the pull down menu, but labels are still there. What I made wrong was not to restart AAO, after Changes.
