Hi,
i have just installed worms world party and when i play it on my windows vista dell inspiron 6400 it says WWP (worms world party) has stopped working checking solution....I have tried do you the compatibilities thing, i did chose all the windows i could and did check mark the visual themes and the other one under it, i did apply and still nothing same message!!!!.
Whats going on here??!!! i did try on another computer with windows XP and it work when i setted up the game and then the screen turns black for 1-3 minutes, then the cake shows up, finishes loading and it says that message with "send" or "don't send". I really don't know what to do anymore.
I think that TEAM 17 should make a new worms game that works on vista.
thanks to all that helped

it's a known issue that the 2d worms games have trouble working on vista due to laziness by intel by which they didn't bother to implement old directdraw functions, saying that it is "too old"
try patching the game (http://wwp.team17.com/main.html?page=comm&area=_down_patc)
