That's this error:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324767

This known solution (http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ#.22C:.5CWINDOWS.5CSYSTEM32.5CA UTOEXEC.NT._The_system_file_is_not_suitable_for_ru nning_MS-DOS_and_Microsoft_Windows_applications._Choose_.22 Close.22_to_terminate_the_application..22) should work too.

it didnt work, I tried everything, did it manually, nada .
EDIT: I chose to do this after a few different failed attempts.

EDIT 2: I replaced the three files and it still tells me the same about config.nt
I successfully expanded (unzipped with console) the files I got from my Windows XP CD :
• Config.nt
• Autoexec.nt
• Command.com
And replaced them in system32 with no results even after rebooting.
Could it be that my Windows CD has corrupted files? Can anyone upload them for me? (I have original Windows)
I am confused..In the meanwhile, I'll try other things .

Note to mod: delete the new replies I made, I'll keep editing this one in order to save time . ( or you could lift My mistake ban LOL (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36768) )

EDIT 3: To Diablo, yes it happens with both Worms Armageddon and Worms 2. I just hope it's not a faulty disc ! Can anyone from team17 confirm ?

EDIT 4: ROFLMAO I fixed the issue, but now this pops up !

" please re-install the following module to your system32 directory: COMM.DRV "

EDIT 5: Okay guys I found the problem, once I accidentally ran a batch file that corrupts system 32. I closed it immediately but it seems that in the meanwhile it worked for some files. Is there any way to recover minor system 32 errors for free ?

But the command line doesn't find the files. I copied them from the Windows OS CD but I guess they need expanding. (or whatever it's called) can anyone help me do that? It will be much appreciated. :)

I thought it was Worms Armageddon you were trying to install?

Is there any risk of using system restore ?
edit: fixed the problem with comm.drv thanks to this

Why does Morgoth have 2 accounts, both he can access?

Because there's something messed up with his account.

IIRC, he couldn't access it and got a non-descriptive banned message.
hen he could access it again, but his account still doesn't show up on a member search - the same behaviour as banned accounts show.
