i have a netbook with win7starter (considering ubuntu since xp is dead, provided i can do all the wormy stuff). the worms front end looks fine at first when i run the game, but when i start a match the screen becomes off center by a varying degree. sometimes the screen gets pushed so far to the side that it wraps around to the other side. after the match ends and i return to the front end it will also be off center. its only a horizontal issue. it never happens any other time, just with worms. i think it has to do with the resolution changing. any ideas for a fix?

::EDIT:: im using a big ass flatscreen as an external monitor with a "cloned" desktop. this issue only effects the external

Did you try doing an autoset on the external monitor when you go in-game.
Or, try playing at a different resolution (eg. the native resolution of the monitor) might help.

It depends on the monitor. Mine has a button next to power that says "Auto/Set" which auto-rotates and centers the picture. Check the documentation for your monitor or look in the menu (most LCDs have one). If you dont have any documentation, a quick google of the model number (on the back sticker near barcode) should bring up the specs.

As for changing the resolution, you can do that in the Options menu in the main menu of the game. Alternatively, if you want a custom resolution that is not listed you can input one manually by opening regedit and changing DisplayXSize and DisplayYSize in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team17SoftwareLTD\Worms Armageddon\Options.
