I just downloaded The Quest for Arithia Trilogy Part II The Rozarus and The Quest for Arithia Trilogy Part III Elemental Peace. First I unzip into Dink Smallwood, then I installed it into Dink Smallwood. The problem is when I go to play it, it says it cannot find the dir. So, How do I play it?

Thanks

Make sure that the folder name doesn't have any spaces, and is only 8 characters long.

Okay, I just shorted the title name on the folder and No luck - still won't play.

Make sure that it is not in a folder within a folder.

I put it in my dink folder like this C:\Program Files\Dink Small\Arintha2zip Inside Arintha folder are graphics, sound, story, and tile folders. Same with Arintha3. Now why can't it find the dir. ?

I had this problem once, the zip extracted to a folder named (for instance) agae but I named it something like Eternity and it didn't want to work. I renamed it to the original default folder (agae) and it worked fine. I've no idea why it did that. Also sometimes I made a folder and unzipped the file into it, and the extract also made a folder. So when I looked at the dir tree it looked like (for instance) d:\dink smallwood\agae\agae\(graphics, story, etc) so I had to move it so that it looked like this D:\dink smallwood\agae\(graphics, story, etc). Also, I saw a message about this problem, and the person had to reboot before it would work right. *fingers crossed you get it figured out* those are good dmods :)
