Every time I log into WormNET, the game starts to play the 'Worms!' theme and gets about three seconds in (with the channels and players beginning to show up) before it crashes to the desktop without so much as an error message. For a good two weeks or so, I've been trying to fix this, but no matter how much I Googled and searched forums, I couldn't find any fix that fixed my problem.
Another detail that might make a difference: when exiting the game, 'wa.exe' remains in the process list and inhibits the running of other processes such as Internet Explorer. I believe that IE7 is unable to run because WA is shoving everything else aside on port 80. Everything runs fine after I terminate the process, though.
Edit:
I also tried rebooting the computer, reinstalling WA, rebooting again, and even downgrading from the beta (though I soon realized the stupidity of that; I'm running XP.)
