There's usually some button on your monitor with which you can change the positioning and size of the screen. You might try and mess with that.

You could grab the Windowed Mode dink.exe and run it with the -window parameter.

Those are C++ documents, download Dev-c++ and compile it, then it should start!

Simply replace the Dink.exe in your dink directory with the Dink.exe in the zip. And then run Dink -window -game DMOD

I'm afraid you'll have to use DOS-style shortcuts, or it won't work.

I never said just replacing would do anything:

And then run Dink -window -game DMOD

With this I meant you can create a shortcut in your Dink folder, with the command line

Dink -window -game DMOD

in which DMOD is the directory name of the DMod. Can't be longer than 8 characters.

You can also create a shortcut to dink.exe and put the '-window -game DMOD' in the parameters box.
