Ok, i've installed Dink v1.08 into My Documents.
As far as I can tell, all files have been installed. But, when I go to open Dink.exe, it gets to the Loading... screen and then I get an error saying it has encountered a problem and needs to close, every single time.
So then I wondered if a DMOD would work, I downloaded one and opened it, selected it to be opened by DFArc.exe. Then it says that Dinksmallwood.ini cannot be found and a C++ runtime error has occured.
But for some reason, Dinkedit.exe will load perfectly with no errors at all. Is there any way to play it through that?

In the readme.txt which came with the install, I have everything for the reccomended settings - Windows XP, 1gb space etc.
I've tried using some compatibility settings, but none give any better results.
I tried to use the -nosound parameter, but i'm not sure if I did it correctly.
Uninstalling and reinstalling to a different directory doesn't work either.

Any help towards a solution is greatly appreciated.
