I'm assuming its an issue with my hardware. Still I wanted to double check if there was any reported issues with people having trouble pressing 2 directions at once on the rope... Like going left and up at the same time. I am unable to do this, which makes playing shoppers quite difficult! :( I just started playing again after a 6 year break so its great to be back... however i hope i don't need to buy a keyboard for my laptop to play worms :)

I'm running windows 7 64bit on a hp laptop with amd dual core processor... if any more info is needed let me know... thanks for your help, although I'm not too optimistic

Yes, it is a very common issue (http://worms2d.info/Troubleshooting_FAQ#The_game_doesn.27t_react_to_so me_of_the_keys_I_press) with many keyboards. The only workaround (aside from getting a better keyboard) is to use 3rd-party software to remap keys to a combination that doesn't cause keylock.

Speaking of keyboard limits, I saw some computer games that allow you to test your keyboard inputs, such as StepMania (http://www.stepmania.com/).

My question is: can I get such a testing tool? And what kind of keyword should I use to Google that?

It doesn't support F-keys, unfortunately. Or alt. Urg?

thanks for the help.... now i'm having color issues... I'm getting weird colors and its making it hard to see text, mines, walls etc... this is frustrating XD hopefully this will be an easier fix...

i tried windowing out, but i cant window out of wa for some reason. I've tried changing resolutions in game and out... not sure what else to do...
