How can I run Worms United on Windows Xp (32-bit)? I've tried changing the compatibility to Windows 95 but no luck. Any help?

I have seen it, but haven't tried it yet, since I haven't yet installed WU after reinstalling Windows.

Also this is an old Xp. The computer is really out of date (maybe about 2001?). Like it has low speed USB ports.

it is, it's true, i couldn't find it in stores. and my dad doesn't like buying online, he doesn't trust it. so ya one day i'll buy it if i can come across a copy or get a credit-card. I can happily say thought that i did buy w2, wa,wwp, w4 & w5.

Nope, wrong. Some CD versions (eg Sold-out Software) work fine (eg mine).

Is there any other way (like a patch or something) to get the game working other than the program mentioned?

DOSbox really is the easiest way.
You can conveniently edit the config file to auto mount the drives & autostart Worms.
