Sound troubles.
I've been having awful sound problems in Dink today. They're mostly resolved, but in case this happens to someone else...
This morning when I went to finish off that fairy d-mod, something was wrong from the moment I pointed my mouse at the Continue button. The little mouse-over kept repeating every second or so in an endless look. When I took the mouse off the button that sound did the same thing, and the first sound remained. Every sound became and endless loop. Basically it was unplayable unless I just wanted to turn the sound off.
I tried re-installing my sound drivers and only succeeded in making all the MIDIs sound bad (a recurrant problem on my machine) so then I backed up my D-mods, deleted the dink folder and re-installed. That seemed to fix it... until I applied the 1.07 patch. So I uninstalled and re-installed without the patch. It worked again, about which time I remembered something, I'd turned virtual memory off during a little disk space crisis and hadn't put it back. You guessed it, that was the source of the problem, but only for v1.07, v1.06 wasn't bothered by it.
Now I just need to fix the MIDI playing somehow.

Okay, fixed the MIDI. All's well. (after a full day's work)
But remember, don't run Dink v1.07 with Virtual Memory off.
