Life Advice / Re: Computer Trouble

I've had similar problems with older computers myself.
As a retro fanatic, I've had many of the problems you have here.
It's nearly always bad/damaged RAM.

Also, open up the case and get the dust out. Use a small, low power handheld vacuum cleaner, that should do the trick.

Click Start, then Run. In the window that appears, type "regedit" (without the quotes) and hit enter. This will open the registry editor. You can search for the names of registry entries here, so search things like DotNet (as that is what they are often called internally) and delete ones that you are CERTAIN will not cause any more problems by removing.

Q: Will disfigurements due to fighting be shown in the in-game descriptions? For example, if a Dwarf had a long nose, which was damaged badly, would the game pick up on that? Would be be described as having a "scarred, ripped lump of flesh for a nose" or would the game still insist he had a long nose? Would it become a small, scarred nose after it healed?

This is a lot of fun.

This is looking fantastic.
As a programmer myself, I can appreciate the amount of work you must be shovelling into this.

Whoa, there's one dwarf there with an extremely long and broad nose, which is also upturned.

Speed-Reading that post made me think it said "Faggot Fortress".

I would like to see its comeback - provided it had a little section in the init file.

[CAVE_INS:YES]
[CAVE_IN_SIZE:7]

And so on. Just don't put [CAVE_IN_SIZE:1] in there...
