The error message "Exception Ecom Port in Model FMS.exe at 0008AFEC. Registry error" suggests there may be an issue with the way the program is interacting with the Windows registry or COM ports. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Compatibility Mode: Since you are using Windows 11, try running FMS 2 Alpha 8.5 in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows. Right-click on the FMS executable file, select 'Properties', go to the 'Compatibility' tab, and try different compatibility settings.

  2. Run as Administrator: Make sure to run the program with administrative privileges. Right-click the executable and select 'Run as administrator'.

  3. Check COM Port Settings: Ensure that the COM ports are properly configured and not being used by another application. You can check and manage COM port settings through the 'Device Manager'.

  4. Registry Permissions: There might be a permission issue with the registry entries related to FMS. You can try checking and resetting these permissions, but be cautious as editing the registry can cause system issues.

  5. Reinstall FMS: Uninstall FMS, then reinstall it. This might fix any corruption or misconfiguration.

  6. Consult the FMS Community or Support: If the issue persists, you may want to consult forums or official support channels for FMS, as others might have experienced the same problem.

Remember to back up your data and important settings before making changes to your system.

I installed the application on a 64-bit Windows 10 PC and I managed to get it to run without too much of an effort. First, go to its official web page and download Version 2.0 Alpha 8.5 (the first one on the page). Next, install and run the application.


On my PC there was an error stating that the d3drm.dll file was missing. In case you encounter the same issue, you can download the file from a website called DLL-FILES. (Make sure that you download the dll file itself and not their client.) Once you've downloaded d3drm.dll, copy it into the application's installation folder and you're good to go.


If you encounter an additional visual glitch that makes the image flicker, head over to the Graphics menu and click on the Textures button, removing the check mark from it.
