Worms Armageddon issue. Please help

[Campbell00]

Whenever i try to play the game, i select all of my options and begin the level. It says "working" and it goes to a black screen. Then it doesnt do anything. When i press ctrl, alt del, it says that worms 2 and T17 are also running, which is why it is not running. I purchases the double pack, but it said worms 2 before i installed it. I installed worms 2 and it still didnt help. Can anyone please help

Worms: Armageddon uses the Worms 2 engine, which is why it comes up in the list.

My guess is that you are running W:A straight out of the box on Windows XP, which doesn't work as it was made before XP came out. There is an update here (http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda&file=15) that gives it support for XP, amongst other bug fixes and new features. Download it, run it, and tell it to extract into the folder that you have Worms: Armageddon installed in (overwriting any files if it prompts you).
