Worms Armageddon: random crashes

I installed Worms Armageddon on my new computer and the program just suddenly quits on me, unexpectedly. No error messages, no nothing. I also remember the same thing happening to my old computer. The thing is, it only happens while loading or at the beginning of a game. I can access the options menu fine, but games always crash. What the hell is going on?

edit: I can do training missions just fine. It's the games that screw up.

edit again: I can also do single-player missions fine (although whenever I press escape, keyboard input stops working...). It's just the regular games.

You could try having a look at Team 17's support section. There's an FAQ there with details on patches. Other than that, I'm not sure, as worms always used to crash on me as well. Hmm, that last sentence sounds odd.

I tried their suggestions and still problems. In addition, whenever I right-click to open up the menu, the game crashes. And whenever I press Esc, the game crashes as well. DirectX works fine, DMA is fine, everything is good...

You could also check the forums too, if you haven't yet.

Fixed by installing a patch for XP. Thanks for the forum link, Vivi.
