Pirates Online won't start

Hey, so whenever I try to play pirates online on this computer, it brings me to the report a bug page. The game used to play on this computer, then after about a month of not playing, it stopped working. I've tried for the past week with no success. It's a fairly new (About 6-7 months) Windows 7 computer that meets all the system requirements. What's wrong here? :s

Does the launcher even pop up? Maybe call them if that is happening.

If the launcher at least pops up before taking you to the bug page, then I'd suggest changing to Directx9 on the graphics options if you haven't done so already.

Could be a firewall from either your comp, or your ISP. Or, could be a corrupt file which would require you to reinstall the program. Best call them and see what they say. Hate to think some sort of malware is involved.
