I'm not sure. There's other people having problems too. You might try the version that Toady posted. It looks like it has special instructions. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158868.msg7056349#msg7056349
It says "XP version" but he later says it should work in Windows 7 and stuff too.

Another guy said he was able to fix the issue by installing a couple of libraries from Microsoft. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158868.msg7056843#msg7056843

Work through from page 1 of the announcements thread. I installed the dll Toady posted, then the 'new df.exe' and I'm up and running now (Windows 10 64 bit).

Later a version for XP was posted. That seemed to work for some Windows 7 users too in case the previous one didn't.

Seems like it'll be a couple of days before it's all fixed (expect a possible crash on exit too - not getting that myself).
