Make sure it's installed right. Open up it's folder and compair it to another d-mod (one that works). They should look roughly the same. If you have to go through an extra subfolder or there are no subfolders at all, for example, you'd know something is wrong.

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
ES - CZ - WL (arh ) isn't zipped like most D-Mods. In the zipfile, the files are in zero/story, zero/sound etc.. so you have to extract the files to the main Dink Smallwood directory, then it should work

I thought this is was easier for most of the dinkers, but it seems I forgot to mention how to unzip the d-mod.

Sorry 'bout that

Yeah, or just extract like you're used to and then move the folder to the main Dink.

can you please email me at: ecnal1955@hotmail.com and tell me how to extract the game (please be specific) so that it will play? I've tried everything mentioned, but nothing works. What I usually do is this: (using dink front ends): c:\program files\dink smallwood\dink.exe-game. This has always worked in the past, so what's going on?
