I don't think your problem will be solved by choosing another resolution.

Do you use Windows Vista?

No, I use a Windows Xp Service Pack 2 and what should I do if its not resolution?

Try closing all programs before you start W:A.

Also, check for a file called palette.log in your W:A folder. If it's present, take a look at its contents, it may give you a hint at which programs are causing the colour palette to become corrupted.

Were is this file suppose to be in the WA folder, and it doesnt even show the loading symbol anymore.

It should be in the same folder as WA.exe. It may not be there at all.

Have you tried restarting your computer?

What other post? If you both installed W:A from the same or similar CDs and you get the same problem on different computers (with different hardware), then perhaps the problem is within the CD, or some common software that you are both using?

Inekler's problem was that his game quit to desktop when he tried to start game. From what I understood, you are having colour palette issues - the graphics look corrupted and miscoloured. How are these two problems similar?

Also, what's the publisher of your CDs? It's the name of the company that's on the case/CD aside Team17. Popular W:A publishers are MicroProse, SoldOut, UbiSoft...

Have you ruled out any interfering software by closing ALL non-critical programs, including from the system tray and process list before running the game?

No,im going to try doing what you told me. For some reason I got it to work on 640x480 Color de alto contraste(spanish for High contrast) (16-bit) 60 Hertz, but I have to do a series of steps when I click begin match.

1. I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then it opens up task manager.
2.Theres 3 programs running, worms2(It only works if i have this open, and yes its a worms2 to application but worms2 is not running ),team17,WA.
3. First I have to right click on Team17 and click [pasar a](Go to). Then press Ctrl+Alt+Del again and on worms2 right click it and put [Maxzimar](Maximize),then just right click on WA and put [traer al frente](bring to front).

This may sound hard but i do it fast.

After that the game is running with good colors I dont no why it works like this.I just want it to work normal without doing this. Its like somehow something is being on top of WA and I have to do that to view it well i dont really know...
