Ive just had to reinstall windows, so i reinstalled Worms: A with the wormkit, added the recent patch and started her up. But when i go inro hostingbuddy matches i only see a normal map and not the proper map. Ive had this problem before on my laptop and solved it but cant remember how. Any ideas?

something prevents the map from being stored. Are you sure that you installed into a good folder having privilegies? Or isn't antivirus blocking the map loading.

turns out running as admin in windows 7 was all i needed to do.

You'll have a hard time minimizing the game by doing that.

Running as administrator isn't recommended and may lead to some instabilities in the work of WA. In which directory did you install WA? You should install it to X:\Team17\Worms Armageddon. Do not install it in \Program Files\, as this path is restricted in rights.
