I gave him a solution that worked for other members in the past so don't be rude, and I have a pentium D 805. And Jeep, I suggest you run a full virus scan with something like norton or avg just to be safe. Also increasing your ram might help.

Ill give it a shot, thanks ahead of time!
I will try a norton scan, but I cant really increase my RAM tho.

Err... Scratch that... I got a little box that said:
Please resolve the following:

A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine.

I searched C++ in add/remove programs and.... well now im confused:

Okay then I really dont know =/ and your posts may be edited into one. and Ram is pretty cheap, I will assume your computer is new enough to use DDR3 and a 1 GB card of Kingston ram is roughly 13 - 15 dollars. or you can try adding to your paging file hehe. If you want I can try to tell you how to increase page file (it acts like ram only slower and is on hard drive)

I had this runtime error once and from what I found out it is from left over stuff not needed in your registry. I downloaded CC Cleaner from download .com. It cleans and fixes these problems. I have windows 7 with 4 GB. It fixed a couple things and I havent seen runtime since.

Well uninstalling and reinstalling Pirates could hep but I have never heard of the program and website ThunderKiss listed (and I am a tech savvy person). if you have any log files from POTCO look through them to see what might be wrong, try upgrading your graphics driver to the newest version (and remember, BETA Drivers are not bad. I use Beta Drivers for my Nvidia card)

Download .com is CNET , very popular place to get reviews and download programs. CC Cleaner is a registry cleaner. I said nothing about re downloaded the game. Just trying to help.

OH now I feel silly yeah then thats fine, never heard it called that before and I know I am giving him ideas that could work and I hope all these ideas help you Jeep

I use CCleaner, atleast monthly. Didn't seem to do anything for me.
Also, I haven't been getting it every time anymore. But still, atleast 6/10 of the time. So, still a problem. Any more suggestions would be nice :)

Have you tried restarting your computer, resinstalling the game, and....... OH! defragmenting your hard drive?

Yep, Yep, Yep.
