Hello, I played DF when I has windows XP and it always ran fine.

However I started it up using windows 7, and when I use the arrow keys to select items on the main menu, the menu entries flicker between gray and white, and what;s worse, and the selected something and move on to the next menu, it flickers between the the current menu and the main menu. It makes to impossible to start a game.

I've tried changing compatibility settings and trying both window and non-window modes, but nothing works so far.

Anyone had this problem with wi9ndows 7 or know how to fix it?

Thanks

I downloaded the 40d16 version, and that works fine (no flicker).

However, Dwarf Manager doesn't seams to work, when I click 'Load from DF' it comes back with an error saying unknown version number.

40d16 is brand new.  Since third-party utilities like Dwarf Manager are not officially supported, it can take a while for them to catch up to new releases.  Dwarf Manager is only up to 40d14 at present.

However, there's a similar utility called Dwarf Therapist which a lot of people seem to prefer.  Instructions for getting it to work with 40d16 are here and here.

If you have any problems making Dwarf Therapist work, please post about them in that thread.
