: : : thnx to everyone who helped me... but now...
: : : ok, the frontend and all other progs that use dink are working fine now, but when i start a DMod or the original game, it freezes, turns me back to windows or just crasher and turns off the pc.... what now?
: : I don't know why it is doing this, but check and make sure about this: 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?
: yeah, i've checked it and i've don't had anyone... you can run the game, the loading screen appears, you click start and it works! but if there comes an huge thing with an explosion or something (like in FIAT, the fading intro) THEN it doesn't work, i think i don't have enough free HD space.. something like 10 MB.
FIAT eats memory for breakfast, brunch, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, and an evening snack. It likes memory. A lot of memory. If you don't have much RAM, then it'll take a bite out o' your hard drive. And if that hard drive doesn't have enough to satisify it... well, it won't like you too much.
Besides normal memory-eating while running, FIAT also eats up a third of a megabyte for every time it uses an Uber variable. Uber variables are what makes it so that nifty intro only shows once, and what makes the cheat menu appear and the different cheats activate and everything.
In summary... FIAT is hungry. It wants more HD space. Its bigger than you. FEED IT :p

Isn't your 'Uber variable' just a save? I thought that you just made a save with an obsene number when you go a cheat then checked for it on the load... or did you do it some other crazy way?

Hm-m-m-m-m- Have you checked to be sure you are using the latest graphics drivers for your card? Also check your direct X or direct draw or whatever they are, check those too. and yea, you might try checking your temp folders, or cache folders and dumping what you don't need. Also, you might try defrag just for a hoot. Some other people have trouble with crashing when lots of things are happening on the screen. Something odd I guess. But everyone but you so far has been able to get fiat to work. Good Luck!!
