No, I'm just running XP. Though one thing I notices, I was hanging around YouTube earlier today, and tried looking up some POTCO vids on there, and I noticed that the mouse cursor looked different on their screen than mine did. So I'm thinking that maybe something got lost in translation when the game installed. Also, something else I remembered, the two times I got the broken server connection in the game before dropping to the desktop, outside of the the notification window, I could see part of the screen, showing the High Seas. The island names were present, and so were the ships, but there was no water. Though the water was fine the time I was able to sail for about 30 seconds. So, I don't know.

I'm just going to try reinstalling, especially if there's a way to download the areas ahead of time. I appreciate the help by the way.


Update: Ok, it seems I can sail more often now, I finally got to visit Devil's Anvil and Tortuga, went sailing from Tortuga, made it about 40 seconds and ended up crashing again. And I had my graphics set to high and everything, cuz I had just been messing around at Port Royal, decided to try to sail instead of just logging out, and it worked haha. So I still don't really know why I'm having troubles sailing. Also, I can't get any other kinds of ships =/ I saved up 1k gold to buy either a Galleon or Frigate (couldn't remember how much they cost) and I have to pay for even the other basic ships. Bleh, guess I'll end up paying sooner than I thought.
