To specify POTCO to use DirectX9 you will need to edit the "game_options.txt" file located in the POTCO root directory.

1)Navigate to C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline
3) Double click on game_option.txt
4) Make sure state has working on the line directly below it. If you see attempted_working change it to working
5) Under api, change the text from default to pandadx9
6) Save the file then launch the game

Good luck!

After 5 months of having an ATI 2600 HD 512 MB card that I couldn't use - these steps actually worked!!!

I didnt need the working bit (but I didn't look either) - I just changed what was under API from DEFAULT to PANDADX9 - bam! I can sail the seas!

It looks so AWESOME... all that 512MB just soaking it up... amazing...

I know several here with ATI cards should try this option - what Disney could not provide - POF forums did
