Hello,
I just re-installed my old Worms Armageddon game on my new laptop, but for some reason (I think it is my widescreen monitor), some parts of the menu are located "outside" of the screen, which means that I cannot access all menu buttons.
How do I do to make the game to stay within my monitor, even though the resolution is 4:3 and my monitor is 16:10?
I don't care if the game will suffer from the widescreen syndrome (a square becomes a rectangle etc.), but I want to be able to see it all, not just a part of it. :)
Thanks in advance!

Your font sizes are incorrect. Find your computer's display properties panel and set font sizes to "Normal" (96dpi)

Try that

Changed resolution to 96DPI in Advanced Display Settings Mode
But I'm having new problems now. I'm getting the blue screen of death when I finish a 1 player game. It sucks.

Don't be surprised, the latest nvidia drivers gave me bsod's for fun. Luckily I changed;) BSOD's aren't rare at all, windows=BSOD:)

You must be using an old version of Windows. I have been using Windows XP for years and haven't seen one BSoD in it.

Yep.
BSoD were actually very rare in Windows 2000 and I only got them in Windows XP when there was a hardware failure.
(Like my northbridge fan dying and my motherboard overheating.)

I got them using nvidia updated drivers with geforce 2, i always get them at shutdown cause of this crap USB modem and windows can't dc properly cause it locks system.

Drivers are mainly to blame, I suggest changing or updating/degrading your graphics card drivers. Seriously it can make all the difference. Remember to uninstall first.
