    I am running Worms World Party on my Vista machine, and after a while WWP just started to launch with messed-up colors. Team17 forums said this was most likely a program stealing the 'color palette' and focus from WWP.

    Without shutting down any programs, I decided to add a little something to WWP's shortcut to make the game always start in high priority. This eliminated the problem until I downloaded and started Skype. Now I have to shut down skype, otherwise WWP will run in messed up colors even at high priority.

    What I was wondering was if there is a way to force the computer to give a much greater amount of resources and focus to WWP than any other program running in the background. I do not want to keep hunting down and closing any program everytime I play WWP.
