From what I got from your post, it sounds like you created a new windows account, registered it with FAM, then opened Freelancer.
If I was right, you need to make a new user account, open Freelancer first to create an ID, and then register it with FAM.
I presume FAM was picking up your other account ID that you use now, then using it when you opened Freelancer on the new account, so it came up with the same ID.

ComDlg32.ocx error and a missing file is all that happens when i try to open flam. I will admit i havnt read the previous 39 pages in this thread so if an answer to this has already been done i apologies. Anyone any ideas?
There's probably only one possible answer for that: Get that missing file. Putting it in FAM directory will probably work. If you don't want to search for it on the Internet, ask someone with working FAM over Skype.
I don't have a standard install of freelancer, well infact it wasn't actually installed, it was just copied to its location and runs fine. When I use the account manager to try and launch the game, it comes up with an error saying it can't find "\EXE\Freelancer.exe" because there isn't an entry for the game in the registry.
Can someone help me out? I just want to manually edit in an entry to the registry so that the account manager can locate the game .exe but I have no idea where/what to change in regedit.
the current location of the freelancer .exe is C:\Program Files\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe
The FAM 2.0 version that is currently on the wild is an early Alpha that I sent to a few people for testing. It wasn't intended for public release.
The bug you mention is not a bug. Account renaming had not yet been fully coded by the time that version got released. That's why it doesn't work.
As of late, I have more free time available (I'm even ingame). I'll see if I'm able to implement the remaining stuff on the program (account creation, etc), and deploy a 2.0 version that works properly.
