i have downloaded worms armageddon and i cannot get the levels to work because when the level starts the colour is all wrong and i cant see anything properly i think it is because the background file is pal and i dont have a program which will open it. what program will open pal files ????

You don't need to do anything with the pal files, create your level as a 8-bit PNG, save it into your Worms/User/SavedLevels folder, and it should work fine.

na im not tryin to create my own level when i try to do the training or the missions i cant see anything properly the whole level is the wrong colour even the worms. but the game works fine until i try to play the levels. why?

i have downloaded worms armageddon
Hmm..., downloaded.
That would mean you have the Trymedia version. (Not recommended, as it's not compatible with the latest beta updates.)
Anyway, try re-installing from the setup files you've downloaded and re-activating.

If you have downloaded the elsewhere, meaning illegally, without paying, go somewhere else, meaning to hell.
