run memtest86 and see if your memory is working correctly. http://www.google.com/search?q=memtest86&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

i tried to do that but all i ended up doing was extracting some files that didnt seem to do anything anyway
im not very good on computers so maybe im doing something wrong

the files you extracted are a CD image.
you need to burn that image to a CD then boot off that CD.

I doubt that's the problem. It might be, but I doubt it.
1) Is your copy of WA legally bought? Where did you buy it, and what does the disk look like?
2) Try uninstalling the game, installing it again (DO NOT try and patch it) then downloading and running this (http://worms.thecybershadow.net/files/WA_update-3.6.26.5_Beta_Installer.exe)
