I was wondering.. that do you have to mount the worms image everytime to run the game? If I don´t mount it says "Please insert the Worms Armageddon CD-ROM in the drive. I downloaded the file from (SiteRemoved) originally. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Invictus (talkcontribs)

CD problems

What about adding the question "My background music starts looping small extracts of the music sometimes. What can I do?" with the solution "Your CD seems to be dirty. Try cleaning it." That problems is maybe a bit obvious, but my friend had that and went totally crazy since he is not so good in computers :).—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pac-Man (talkcontribs) 01:08, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

The color problem

As far as I know, the solution to this problem (killing explorer.exe) works with most paletted games - not just WA and WWP. So, I wrote a batch file here for other games which may have the same problem.

Just save the following code to a batch file named "ColorFix.cmd" and use commands like ColorFix.cmd yourgame.exe to start your game.

@ECHO OFF
IF [%1]==[] (
ECHO This batch file fix the color problems that occurs in most paletted games by terminating the Explorer.exe process.
ECHO Usage: ColorFix.cmd command [parameters]
) ELSE (
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
%*
Start explorer.exe
)

Hope this helps. --Explorer09 14:00, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
