Start up problem - error message from windows
« on: November 18, 2008, 01:34:06 am »

I try to start up dwarf fortress and it always says something like: sorry for the inconveinence. dwarfort.exe must close. Something like that, anyways I've gotten to this to work on another computer but this one just doesn't seem to get it to work.

I know a lot of people probably ask about this but I don't have much time right now. And I did search in the FAQ on bay12games.com.

Er. Are you running the latest version? Have you tried a fresh install (not in the same folder)? Is there anything in error.txt?

No, I meant it worked on a different computer, this one wont even work at all. So I can't even start it! I'll try to reinstall in another folder.

And for error.txt is says ... infact it isn't even there.

Oh and edited this: I do have the latest version i think. I just dowlonaded it about two days ago.

SECOND EDIT: I didn't realize it until now but my computer is only running 320 of ram. So that may be the problem. If this isn't the case than please PM me, until then I will be trying to fix a older computer (that was given so I could fix it and THEN use it) that might be better so I can FINALLY run the programs I've dying to use.
