Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
This was the best I could do. Probably not approved.

Have a genuine copy of Win7 (that is, update daily with Windows update). Disable UAC (if you want to). Try running in compability mode. Try disabling Windows Aero for the application as it messes stuff up for older programs now and then (it did for me). Try running as administrator. In worst case try XP-mode, pretty handy actually. Dink and WinDinkEdit haven't struggled for me a lot on Win7 64bit, but the hard.dat likes to corrupt itself though.

EDIT: Oh, if you don't want to disable UAC, try changing the folders security-settings so that everyone in the User-group have full access to them. This will allow the Dink application or the editor to write data to it's own folder without giving it administrators access first. And UAC won't bug you with it.
