At a wild guess, try converting the file for the graphics (either from BMP to PNG or vice versa)? It sounds like DF tried to load the graphics file and failed.

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

Wierd, the graphics shouldn't be giving you problems.

Maybe check the graphics folder for duplicates? Only thing I can think of immediately.

Since it's Mike Mayday's mod, maybe he would know something about it.

Edit: Does vanilla DF work on that computer? Just asking and it may actually be helpful to know here.

Yeah, I'm playing vanilla DF right now. Turned off graphics and the game is running fine.

It's running quite slow though, so I'd like to add an additional question:

If I actually ran tilesets, would my game be slower? As of right now I'm already able to see bolts and arrows in bullet-time, where they slowly float towards the target. It's a hell of a lot more exciting than seeing them whiz by though.

It would be better to keep the title like this:

(Fixed) "the problem"

And keep the original post. This way other people can learn from your problem and solve it too.

It depends what you mean by "tileset". You are running a tileset now, it just happens to have ASCII characters drawn on it. Switching that for a different 256-character font that happens to have something slightly more pictorial drawn on it will make no difference to performance.
Mayday's set also includes a 'graphical' tileset, which is a different thing entirely: these are seperate tiles just for creatures (the icons for the various races and animals). Using these *might* possibly have a miniscule impact on performance, but it's not one I can measure on my computer.
