I got a remote controll helicopter and when I installed the software for the Flying Model Simulator, it brings up an error saying that D3DRM.DLL IS NOT LOADED.. What can I do to run this program so I can learn to fly my helicopter?? If anyone knows please help Thanks, Andrew

Hello Larry,
Download the above file from dll site, unzip it and install it. If the problem still persists then use a system utility software like RegInOut to fix corrupt registry & windows files.
Hope it works for you.

This might help.

Go to the following site, copy the d3drm.dll and save it to your c:\windows\system32 folder

To download the FMS flight sim go to this site http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html With windowsXP and earlier it will work fine.
BUT If you use vista you will need to also add this file to your computer "d3drm.dll" go to http://www.driverskit.net/dll/get/494.html to download the file. Then put it in your C:\Windows\System32 folder on your computer. It wont work until you do this. Good luck.

To download the FMS flight sim go to this site http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html although it works fine with windowsXP Vista doesn't have a file it needs to run. "d3drm.dll" can be downloaded from the microsoft site or go to http://www.driverskit.net/dll/get/494.html to download the file. Then put it in your C:\Windows\System32 folder on your computer. It wont work until you do this. Good luck.

Is your game old? d3drm.dll is related to Direct 3D retained mode which is part of Microsoft's DirectX API, Direct 3D is very old (1997) and has been removed from Window's Vista, therefor creating the incompatability.

d3drm.dll as I have come to understand, was implemented in Windows XP, if you have a copy or know someone who uses XP you could try looking through :windowssystem32 folder for the d3drm.dll file and copying it to your own system32 directory.
If you don't have access to XP at all you could also try this link

You may wish to take precautions before downloading as downloads from an unknown site can always be risky.

If you have a copy of Windows XP, but you don't feel like messing with Vista's system directory or copying it didn't work, you could always try virtualization. Running a virtual copy of Windows XP along side Vista would allow you to run older games while running Vista.

Virtual Box is free and in my opion, easy to use virtualization software, you could try that or you could try vmware but that costs money.

With windowsXP and earlier it should work fine.
BUT If you use Vista you will need to add this file to your computer "d3drm.dll" go to http://www.driverskit.net/dll/get/494.html to download the file. Then put it in your C:\Windows\System32 folder on your computer. It wont work until you do this. Good luck.

U can go to google.com And Search for   '' d3drm.dll download it .....

You can download a replacement file here:

Make sure you note the path of where the file belongs, this way you can save it in the right directory.

Afterwards, just reboot your machine and you're done!

Hope this helps...
