Cannon Defense lockup ?!?

[seven__11]

I have not been able to play Cannon Defense since Saturday evening 1/14. Start it and the game locks up. POTC online help is not available on Sunday or Monday. Finally got hold of someone today (Tuesday). First they suggested that I reinstall POTC. After I explained that CD was not working on either my Mac or PC or test or normal they found that "some people were having problems with some mini-games". This fact is not mentioned in any game notes that I could find. I am very disappointed in the support that I received.
