Cant go back into game after minimizing

[RedMajesti]

Hey guys!

I have a problem.

When i minimize worms armageddon and want to go back into the game nothing happened. Do you guys know how to fix this?

I use Windows Vista.

Do you mean that when you click on the taskbar button, the game doesn't restore?

Does this happen in the frontend or during a game?

Did you install the latest Beta update?

Same problem for me too but I'm on Windows 7.

Yes, both and yes.

Do you run W:A under an administrator account?

If you run it with the bat file that closes explorer.exe then you will need to use Task Manager to restore the game or rename the game from WA.EXE to something else, like worms.exe. (Microsoft Windows is gay and prevents alt-tab from working for exe files named wa.exe)

I do. Can't say anything for RedMajesti.

Don't know about any bat file franpa, although I do have the .dll from the colour fix thing.

And this is what wkAntiKeyboardHook is for.

If you run W:A with elevated privileges while Explorer isn't, User Interface Privilege Isolation may prevent W:A from receiving the de-minimization messages it expects. Try setting up W:A to run non-elevated.

Setting it to run not as an Administrator seems to work. Minimising and restoring appears when not in a game appears to freeze/lock the menus, but pressing escape fixes that (although it forces me back a screen).

Works fine in game.

Yeah don't minimize when not in a game (for stability sake) if your under Vista or Windows 7. The next version of the game will fix the minimize problems for good or at least until MS release a new patch to F@#!# it up again.

Ok now i changed wa.exe into worms.exe and i do not run as an administrator! If i run as an administrator it doesnt work. Now it works.
Weird.

Thanks to all
