bug in FMS - bug in FMS startup

[DiMarzio]

Hi All,

I just found a bug in FMS. On my 2 laptops FMS runs like a charm but I just couldn't get it to work on my desktop PC.

This problem really drove me nuts because my desktop is my only PC with a gameport. It even made me re-install my OS 2 times and I even tried to downgrade my OS with no result.

Every time I started my application I would get a exception 0x0eedface. After googling for this exception I found out this is a delphi exception so I installed the delphi IDE in order to use the Delphi debugger. This debugger told me it was an EComPort error (not 100% sure it was excactly this error).

Anywayz... I figured I have disabled my com ports and maybe enabling my com ports would do the trick. So I rebooted... enabled my com ports... and voila! FMS is running again :)

So in short:
no COM port means unhandled exception in FMS
one COM port means RTF :)

Hope you guys can fix this for poeple without a COM port (and also so I can turn of my com port again :))
