Hi guys, I quit playing WA and started playing WR since you can't play WA on Win7 without exiting explorer.exe. Was wondering if this has been fixed yet, since WR doesn't have much people on anymore.

The Windows Explorer bug was fixed with version 3.6.30.0 and further improved in version 3.6.31.0

It's not a big trouble to close explorer.exe before playing because the game is still better than Worms Reloaded :/

Works fine on Win7 for me. But I have to run WA as an Administrator, otherwise none of the data is saved properly (it runs and plays fine, but if you exit then open again all of the data is gone). This is due to the fact that WA saves data to its Program Files folder, and in Vista/7, apps need Admin privileges to be able to save there.

The recommended solution to that problem is to reinstall the game to its default location, or anywhere else where it can edit its files. Running the game as Administrator causes other problems.
