I just bought a new PC tower and it's got W7. I'm used to 98SE.

I've downloaded a number of DMODs. They're in the main Dink Smallwood folder. They are not zip files, and I don't know how to install them.

When I use dfarc, I can't play any games because it says it can't find one of the tile screens, every single time. Don't have a clue what that means, or how to fix it.

I don't remember how I got some DMODS listed in dfarc, and I don't know HOW to get them listed in the original Dink Front End. I used to do that by opening a folder with the name, like Cheese or Stone. Then I'd unzip the DMOD to that folder. These new icons for DMODS aren't zips, and I don't know how to install them so they'll show up - and WORK - in both front ends.

I somehow got Pilgrim's Quest listed in dfarc TWICE. Don't know how to get rid of it.

I can play PQ, but if I alt-tab to the desktop, the graphics when I return to the game are worse than grainy, and the colors aren't correct.

So I'm doing something wrong. What?
