I've got a new comp, it's ace, but Dink won't run. I installed from cd-rom, and I get the message 'couldn't find the file avi/iridon.wav'. That .wav file however is in the avi directory. I've got Windows XP.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Try downloading the v 1.07 patch, and if that doesn't work, try running it in a different compatibility mode, like Windows 95 (right click on the program, go to Properties, and there should be a Compatibility tab). Worked for me on one of my computers.

I do believe the 1.07 patch only works with 1.06, the freeware version..

I may be mistaken. Dunno.
