Ok after going to various sites
I have now got wa stable running under windows 7.
This is what i did!

1. Fresh install of worms armageddon
2. Applied patch
3. Applied wa beta 3.29.0
4. Downloaded Rubberworm v0.7.32 from http://www.webalice.it/micioptah/
(first link underlined)
5. Installed/extracted rubberworm to the team17 wa file
6. Installed/extracted wormkits to team 17 wa file http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormkit/
7. Extracted wkcolourfix to team17 wa file (open file and extract to specific folder once downloaded)
http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=38762
8. Extracted wkjetfix.dll file to same folders as mentioned above
http://worms2d.info/JetFix
9. Changed compatibility mode by right clicking the wormkit and wa icon to run compatibility as win vista sp2 also run as 256 colour also allowing run as administrator.

Everything works fine now but i have come across 2 new faults which i cannot resolve myself, which are :
1. Can minimise whilst in game but cannot re-enter
2. Cannot host through windows 7 even though i tried port forwarding etc.
(wormnat 1 and 2 doesnt help)
Can someone help with these issues?
Also would like to mention CYBERSHADOW ---Thankyou for all your hard work for worms armageddon to continue on in windows 7 ^^ without your hard work we would not be able to play it!:D

Steps 2, 4, 5, 8 and 9 should have no effect on Windows 7 compatibility. In fact, certain compatibility options are known to cause other problems.

Minimization in the front end in Windows Vista and 7 is a known problem in current Beta updates, and will be fixed in 3.6.30.0.

For problems with hosting, see here: http://worms2d.info/Hosting_Guide
WormNAT2 is known to work for almost everyone as long as you can access worms2d.info and you install it correctly. (Exceptions are users with certain uncommon anti-virus/firewall software, and systems that can't make outgoing connections to certain ports.)

Thankyou for pointing it out :) so your saying to alter settings for antivirus/firewall to make exceptions for the ports and program exe's,
As for the front end maybe i will try out a few things....i will let you know how i get on, ty for your response ;)
