Dink Smallwood has banned you. You repeatedly tried to pet ducks, without beheading them.

Your computer must be too old to use directX 8...

That's the only explanation.

Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer 
Use Freedink. It uses a different graphics system, and doesn't depend on DirectX at all.

FreeDink lacks all that stuff due to licensing reasons. You can put FreeDink into the same directory as regular Dink (in which case it will use the same stuff as the original game), or point 'override the default Dink Smallwood directory' in DFArc to original Dink's folder.

It still wont work due to not having DirectX8+

Atleasr FreeDink will work.

That's stupid what's the point of releasing a half-assed port then.

The engine itself isn't half-assed. Here's what you do:

1. Download FreeDink, extract freedink.exe into your Dink Smallwood folder.
2. Set DFArc to use FreeDink. Edit -> Options -> 'Choose Dink application', choose freedink.exe

See, that's what I do with freedink and it still ended up missing stuff in the original game.
