You must have a dir where the dmod is in. Then you start a frontend (if you don't have one, download it, it's useful) and click on the name from the dmod. It should work then. You only have to check if there's not a mapfile in the mapfile you have, so that you don't have c:\dir where you have dink\vally\vally and there all the files.

Also make sure the name of the folder is 1 word, like "Fairy" and not "Fairy Online"

Right! and make sure your one word is not bigger than 8 characters, and does NOT have any "special" characters in it.

Also, some dmods extract into a folder the extraction creates. This means that you have your folder, and the dmod folder nestled like c:\dinksmallwood\fairy\fairy\(story,graphics, etc.) If this happens, you need to make sure you make it so that it ends up as c:\dinksmallwood\fairy\(graphics,story,etc). See?
