Hey!
I'll get straight to it.
1) Schemes Problem
Well, when i try to make a scheme both in the multiplayer screen and the options screen, a message appears saying: "Error: Could not create Scheme file". :-/ Anyone got any ideas what's happening here, and how i can fix this?
2) Teams Problem
Same as above (in both screens), but no message. The game isn't saving my custom teams either. :-/
3) Graphics Problem
Basically, the whole landscape sometimes goes in all odd colours, like the sky going in a rainbow of colours. Or i load the game up and the menus are like that. Or after the game works perfectly fine for one match, i return to the screen and it's like this. I also can't take screenshots of the game. :-/ Solutions?
Information
Windows Vista Home Basic
Intel GMA X3100 (384MB)
DirectX Version 10
I have the SoldOut version, which came with Worms 2 (brought from Game)
I've got the v3.6.29.0 update successfully installed
I'm using it without the disc
I've tried running it with both WormKit and Worms: Armageddon
I've tried the compatability modes for what the SoldOut version requires (98/Me/XP SP2) and none of them make a difference
Thanks alot, Dylan.

I used CloneCD and Virtual CloneDrive, like explained here (http://www.worms2d.info/nocd).

Make sure you run the game as an Administrator to solve permission issues.

It looks like WA/User have not the permissons to create files in ur hard disk or folder....make sure u are using an administrator user and the WA folder isnt protected/blocked for permissons.
The color problem can be fixed with the "colorfix" wormkit module.

Its in this forum somewhere. I'd link you but that would take about two days on an iPod.
Search wkColorFix qnd it should appear

For the not able to save problems: Either run W:A as an administrator (you can make it permanent in the properties), or install it in C:\Team17 rather than C:\Program Files
For the colour fix: What other people said.

I can save teams and schemes now. Where do i put those 2 colour fix files? Kuz if it's in the Worms Armageddon folder, it doesn't make a difference. :-/

Download WormKit (in cybershadow's sig) and extract it to your W:A folder. Then, download wkColorFix, extract that into your W:A folder as well. Then, run wormkit.exe instead of wa.exe and it should work.

Ok removed WormKit and ColorFix, and got them back again. Everything worked the first time. Then it started again. :-/ One more question, since i know you can do this with the PSOne version. Can i mute the music, but still keep the sound effects and worm speech on?
Thanks. :)
Edit
It works every time with WormKit. Perhaps you were meant to type that? :p

Ambient sound in the games options = music only. Disable that to only get sound f.x and voices.

I think you need to use Wormkit to load the wkColourfix.dll file
Good suggestion :)
