(it works on my computer.)
Go to the program folder, find the .exe, rightclick it, and choose "properties"
In the properties, press "compatability".
Choose "run this program in compatability for [ Windows XP SP2 ]
Mark "Run with 640 x 480 resolution"
Mark "Unactivate Visual Themes"
Mark "Unactivate Desktopxxxxx"

(sorry if there's fails in the names of things ^
But i translated it from danish, i'm from denmark)

I find it incredible that team 17 hasn't released some kind of patch so we can play these classic games on the latest operating systems, I mean whats up with that? No wonder PC gaming is dying.

Apart from those MMO bore fests.

Yes, PC gaming is dying because Team17 won't update their game from 2001. That's it. Well done you. You figured out the conspiracy.

Worms Armageddon is still being updated, and the plan is that once the WA 4.0 patch is done it'll be made available for WWP as well. In the meantime you can either sit tight, or you can invest a fiver in a copy of WA (which now comes bundled with Worms 2) and play the game properly. Your call.

Do you guys also get pink screen with black square in the place for boom cake when you load the game? Couse my menu works, game doesn't. I just get pink loading screen, black square where boom cake is. When it loads i just hear the sounds, i can play, but screen is black :S.

it works for me on vista all i did was force it to run in 256 bit colour and its fine

well for some reason servers or online games wont appear but i think thats cause i have a router blocking it.

Fuh! Finally I made it playable! Well, it runs in "psychodelic mode :)" (maybe 256 colors, maybe something else), but it works. I used
Compatibility mode [Windows XP SP2],
640*480,
Disable visual formatting
and Disable desktop composition.
My version of Vista is Ultimate 32-bit.

P.S. Sorry for possible mistakes, I'm russian :)
