electrolov is scurvy dog
did you install the directx file you downloaded? the download should be fast cuz its small file.
--
to check directx, run a directx diagnostic
go to START>RUN
type in "dxdiag"
click "ok"

should say "system information" at bottom needs to say "directX 9.0...."

mine says "directX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)"

--alot of betas will ask for a copy of the dxdiag file, disney doesnt because if you use the "bugreport" file (located in the PiratesOnline folder), it sends a copy of the game log files, u can read this info too

in the PiratesOnline folder, files called "launcher-(numbers)" open the most recent one.
this will list your hardware, windows version, dx info, between the start of the file, and
"trying to start spash and sefl path"
