Really stupid question but I can't solve it myself.... nor can I find an answer in the last several pages of this thread (went back till people were talking about .06 and 5.4), hoping someone can help.
I load DT, none of the 'social', 'labors', or 'military' tabs appear, nor does the button to open them. If I try to 'group by' anything, it crashes. It connects and reads the dwarves fine, shows that I have my starting seven, I just can't see their labours. How do I get the tab up? Labors and social open automatically on my desktop... just not on this comp.
Sounds like your main settings file got screwed up. Try this...
1) In DT, locate the "Windows" menu at the top
2) Hover over the sub-menu called "Docks"
3) If not checked, check the "GridViews" item
4) Once the "GridViews" dock opens up, make sure you have 3 greyed-out entries in the list of views.
5) If the list is empty, re-download DT because that should never happen
6) If there are entries in the list, we need to delete your settings file
If we need to delete your settings file it can be found in your windows profile folder. This depends on which version of windows you're on, but you can start by opening an explorer shell and entering %APPDATA% as the path. It should jump to your AppData folder and allow you to see the UDPSoftware folder. Inside that is the DT settings file. You can safely delete it, and restart DT. The default views should be back.
