ok i try using this game on my mum's vista home edition and it fail to work.... works find on the pc downstairs with windows xp.... but with my friends vista pro laptop something strange happen i installed the game it didn't worked but then he told me games doesn't work unless he changed the setting to vista basic and that he set a key on one of his games

so when he click on it, it automatically changes to vista basic... but there is a catch the game must remain open in order to play worms Armageddon i was shocked and in disbelief to find that worms Armageddon was working find on his laptop

after i open up the game.... so i copied the same game to my mum's laptop and tried it for myself but it fail to work.... so when he gets home i'm gonna post his specs for the laptop and try to get him to remember exactly what he did in order to get this god damn thing to work

this might be nonsense to some of u but it may set off a light blob in someones head

post a reply if you have any idea as to how to get to vista basic!

Do you mean an Explorer window of the installation folder must remain open?
If so, this is a known workaround that has helped people before.

I have heard of something bad with these chipsets.

You got the latest beta patch?
