Well, I can only tell you what I did... but it may help. First I turned off my firewall, then set my internet options/ privacy & security to low, and allowed all pop-ups. (Don't worry, you can change them all back as soon as you can successfully laungh the game.) Next, I uninstalled the game, then loaded the launcher. This will give you a new pirates (test) folder. Then... log onto your account from your husband's computer, and set your graphic options to whatever you think they should be on your computer, I have mine set on medium... seems to me that low actually gives you more lag. Now, open the program files for pirates (test), and copy and paste into an email the game_options AND the last_working_options and send them to yourself. Open the pirates test folder on your computer, and make two new text documents, one named game_options and one named last_working_options . Copy and paste the info that you have emailed yourself into the appropriate new document. Then reload the game. Hopefully this will help you. I'll ask Di to come and see if I forgot anything... and post any corrections.
