I am experiencing some difficulties in running the FMS under a Windows Vista Beta 2 OS. I have been able to run the FMS on the same machine using Windows XP SP2. The steps to reproduce what I am seeing are as follows:
1. Download the FMS installation.
The following steps apply to both versions of the FMS software.
a. Version 2.0 Alpha 8.5 (Latest build)
(http://www.n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/f ... lpha85.exe)
b. Version 2.0 Beta 7 (Recommended build)
(http://www.n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/f ... disk01.exe)
2. Uninstall any previous versions of the FMS
a. Control panel + Add Remove Programs + FMS
b. Verify folder %ProgramFiles%\FMS is deleted
3. Install the FMS software downloaded
4. Launch the FMS with the following variations
a. Run with non-administrative permissions
b. Run with administrative permissions
Result.
The FMS main window is displayed and is immediately followed by the error message “D3DRM.dll is not loadedâ€. Closing the error dialogue and selecting Initialize results in an access violation at address 00496CE8 in module FMS.exe. Read of address 00000000.
Many thanks in advance
