Thanks Eustace. Althought my video driver has the 2004 date in the log, it is the latest download from Dell. The driver update date is 3/28/08. I tried reinstall again and the date in the launcher did not change. dxdiag says:
Driver Date/Size: 2/22/2008 05

I think the problem may be in the install. Both of us have only three files on our harddrive after POTC installs. Unless everything else gets downloaded once you run the launcher.???? Can I install a full version from download somehow? In other words go around the automated install features of the launcher???
Whats really wierd is that POTC was working on my laptop up until a few weeks ago. Heck I was up to lvl 18. I think something happened when the launcher downloaded an update. Can I go back to an old version of POTC some how?
