Thank you for purchasing Worms Armageddon from MicroProse Software Ltd. Whilst we prefer our game documentation to be as accurate as possible, it is unavoidable that late modifications are made and therefore we need to bring you up to date with this document.
We recommend that you read this document fully to get the most recent information about key issues related to the installation and running of Worms Armageddon. This will enable you to get the maximum enjoyment from the game and ensure that you have trouble free play.

Note: If your system requires an update or a complete install of DirectX 6 this will require approximately 8-10Mb of hard drive space. This can vary and is solely dependent on the hardware components that are present within your system.
Customised Saved Settings
If for any reason you wish to uninstall Worms Armageddon, all custom made save files such as terrain, option and sound schemes will be retained within their respective designated folders and will have to be removed manually. Worms Armageddon Uninstall will only remove the program components that are specified within the original install procedure. Also the uninstalling of Worms Armageddon will not remove any installed DirectX components and these are retained as an extension to your Windows system.
Laptop Systems
Because of the current wide variation of laptop system hardware configurations we cannot therefore guarantee full compatibility with all types that are available. This is especially true on systems with compacted keyboards that incorporate keys that are assigned with multiple functions.
System Hardware Modification
When any alteration is made to your system hardware specifications we recommend that a reinstall of Worms Armageddon and DirectX is performed. This will ensure that no errors occur due to possible hardware conflicts. Please refer to the section on DirectX Issues later in this document.
16bit MS-DOS CD-ROM Device Drivers
If you experience an error code prompt interruption during the installation procedure there may be a possibility that there is a conflict with MS-DOS CD-ROM device driver software. If this is the case then you will require an update to a 32bit Windows CD-ROM device driver to alleviate the problem. Consult your CD-ROM drive manufacturer regarding this or alternatively contact your hardware vendor.
Power Saving Modes
Some systems incorporate power saving functions that may inadvertently interfere with the running of Worms Armageddon. It is therefore recommended to disable such functions as these prior to playing the game.
2.0 DIRECTX ISSUES

DirectX from Microsoft is basically a program interface for creating and managing graphic images and multimedia effects in games such as Worms Armageddon and is required for the game to run correctly.
