If you are using the parallel cable, then there is no way to get it working. It is due to the way that w2k (Nt4, W2k & XP) handle the hardware that prevent it.
One possible way to make FMS work under Win2K/XP is to use ProTalk driver (
http://www.beyondlogic.org/porttalk/porttalk22.zip)
Unzip the archive and execute
allowio Application.exe /a
where 'Application.exe' is the name of FMS executable file.
I've never tried it with FMS, but it works with other applications that use the parallel port in the 'Win9x' manner.
Good luck,
