I have a problem with my new computer, it's practically 100X overkill for the game, but the menus go by slow, typing is a drag, as it slows down everything, but once i'm actually in the game, it runs smoothly.
I have a 2.4 MhZ processor.
256 MB RAM
64 MB Graphics card, which I have at 85 Hz right now.
Anyone tell me what the problem is?

Do you experience this slowdown only in WWP or in the whole system ? Could be some virus/spyware if the system is slow too.

Only in WWP.
Not in the actual game where the worms are and the battle and etc.
I mean like the menus, and typing is a bitch, because it takes a minute to type a sentence.

DirectX is required, if that isn't in. Try updating your video drivers also.

I have DirectX 9.0b
I don't see a problem with it, it must be the drivers.

it's not just having directx, but your video card must also be directx compatible, with that whole "100% DirectX Compatible" slogan and what-not. if you're just using the video card that came with your computer and/or you have a manufactured pc then it is doubtful you have a directx compatible video card.

Also, close any programs that hog up your system resources. some programs tend to use alot of your physical memory.

Background programs would not affect only wwp imo.

My graphics card is from ATI, and ATI is always 100% DirectX compatible and whatnot.

Would that processor be a Pentium Celeron? Those buggers don't like the WWP menu screen...

So THAT'S the problem.
Damn you Celeron!
God I need a AMD processor.

check your motherboard specifications, but i think you may be able to replace your celeron with a pentium 4, which would run you about $150.00.

AMD works just fine. I have an AMD 2.8 gig processor and it works perfectly with WWP
EDIT: if your looking for a cheap processor, get one with at least 200MHz, then you'd get optimum performance with WWP
