It sounds like you entered the windows firewall exceptions correctly. (With it turned off entirely, as you do, you don't need them, of course.) I assume you've tried the GRAPHICS OPTIONS on the login screen, trying openGL, Pandadx8 as well, right? I never clear the cache...it maintains it itself, usually about 1,000 files or so.

There might be hints for you in pirates-090131-xxxxxx.log to help narrow the problem down.
