There is one little problem with it: the colorbug. You might know, this issue comes when a running program or prcess takes over WA's color palette. Now in this case, it is explorer.exe that does this little "favour". As a result, you need to run the Task Manager (reached by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL), select the Processes tab and shut down explorer.exe. Make sure you run the game, minimize from the menu (with shift+esc) and then do this, else it is a whole lot of time to run wa.exe from Task Manager again, browsing it... Anyway, after shutting that down, it runs perfectly. ;) Cheers
