I have 3 things to say to you:
0)Learn to spell and use grammar properly.
1)You can't watch video files while playing WA, even with another monitor plugged into the laptop, for the reason that it will try to play them on the main monitor, which is the one that WA is being played on.
2)With the latest patch, you can turn the volume down to zero before you minimize. This might not be the greatest fix, but I doubt that they are going to "fix" it just because you are the only person who doesn't like it.
3)What do you mean by "erase backgrounds"? To turn the background off, press the "Insert"/"Ins" key a few times, as you already know, and to get rid of the worms' names, press "Del" a few times.

SgtFusion, turning the volume down doesnt do anything if the game is minumized. the game when minimized plays sounds at full volume no matter what.
since W:A uses a old version of directX, the other monitor wont work with direct draw acceleration. (perhapse turn off hardware acceleration in your video viewing program?)

Playing wa on one screen (has to be the primary one) makes the other monitor fairly useless when it comes to watching video.
At least with my system setup (XP Pro SP2, WMP 11) I can get audio to play no problem, but videos go black. I'm not complaining since this is probably true for most full screen games, haven't tried it.
Also worth mentioning that worms might change the resolutions and\or colour palettes of the secondary monitor, so even if it did play it would look really funny.
