I am stuck trying to destroy the "eyes" before I am attacked. Apparently this problem is allotted 10 minutes to complete but due to the difference between the speed of the processor of the computer used to create the file and my computer this translates into 44 seconds. I am looking for how to edit the file (even which file to edit) so that I can increase the time limit to what it is supposed to be. That is to say, not to cheat but to fix it so the originally intended time limit is restored.
Thank you.

It's meant to be 44 seconds!
It is possible to do, just find where they all are then run for it!

I object 
Is it possible?

I just tested in v1.07 and v1.08. Since Dink is significantly slower in v1.08 especially on faster computers.
In v1.07 I could kill all the camera's easily within 40 seconds, no problem there. But in v1.08 47 seconds is about the minimum (and only 45 are given), and even that's very hard already.

To change this is quite tricky for a beginner... First of all download the mystery island source. Then delete the contents of the 'STORY' folder in the 'island' folder. Unzip the mystery island source and place all the scripts in the emptied 'STORY' folder.

Now you can edit the source. Open the file s3-timer.c and change the line: &cam_timer = 45; Fill in any value you desire... I think 50 is good.

Yes, it is possible, and it was meant to be VERY difficult. Don't forget that the Dmod was made on a computer on which Dink walked at a correct speed, and it has been fixed for new computers so they walk at the exact same speed as on old computers.
