Are you running the latest version 1.08?

If you are, then mind that when running the game windowed, make sure you set your screen's colour depth to 16-bit. It is quite a bit faster than with 32-bit colour depth. Not using the windowed/high colour settings speeds up the game too.

If you're not using 1.08, get it.

That shouldn't slow down Dink much though, in 256 colour mode that game can still run smoothly on a Pentium 266 Mhz with 32 or 64 MB RAM... At least it does for me...

EDIT: Of course, I'm not so foolish to use Windows XP on an older computer. But it shouldn't matter much anyway.

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.
