It could mean anything, what version of Dink Smallwood you got? Is this a D-MOD you made, or that was made here in the Dink Network?

Make sure you have version 1.08 of Dink Smallwood which you can get here at the Dink Network.

If this is a D-MOD you made, make sure all the files are intact, that your not missing anything that is needed to make the DMOD run. If it was made here at the Dink Network, it could be an incomplete DMOD or you do not have version 1.08 of Dink Smallwood.

I have version 1.08. All D-Mods that I have and The Main game were working but now when I try to start them I get that error message and none of them will start.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
What changed between playing before and playing later? Did you reinstall or something?

I would start up the game and everything worked and I was able to play. Then a couple days later I try playing and I get the error message and the game won't start. I Never changed any options or anything.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Dink. I think the file that points to the correct Dink directory might have become corrupted.

Oh, and you might wanna make sure that any file cleaning programs don't try to delete some Dink files. Especially INIs.
