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 (talk • contribs)

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 (talk • contribs) 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)
