Have you downloaded version 2 (the full version) and managed to play that successfully?



When unzipping the patch select



C:\program files\Dink Smallwood\stone



or if you've installed Dink on a different drive/folder then use



[drive]:/[directory Dink Smallwood]/[SOB directory} - where you subsitute your drive, directory and SOB folder.



I've just installed Dink on my new laptop and unzipped SOB and then patch 8 and it works fine.



Hope this helps

i definitely got it installed fine and its in the same directory as everything else.  it shows up in the dink frontend program.  when i select it and hit play, it gives me the usual loading screen, and then it just goes to black with yellow letters saying v 1.06 on the bottom and i can't do anything

Hmmm. Copy your saved games somewhere safe and try re-installing version 2 again. If you are past Story 4 I wouldn't worry about Patch 8.
