Hi! Have you tried updating your video card driver?

1. Determine the manufacturer of your video card

A) Video > Open your control panel, click on "Display" > "Settings" tab > "Advanced" > "Adapter" > "Properties" > "Driver" tab.

2. Write down the Driver Provider and Driver Version.

3. Go to the driver manufacturer's website and locate your particular computer and download the newest driver (you can check the latest driver they post with the driver version you have, if it's the same, then don't bother with the download - likely they've come out with a new one since last you updated though). If you have Windows 7, you can open device manager, and right click on the device. You can pick Update drivers from this as well.

After updating the driver, reboot your computer and hopefully, all is right in Pirate101!

PS: You can bypass all this by sending Customer Support (support@pirate101.com) a dxdiag & they'll determine your driver and send you the link to update if necessary:

To create a dxdiag.txt just go to Start -> Run (or Search in Vista) and enter dxdiag and click OK. Once the program has run it's course, click "Save all Information" and it will output a txt file that you can attach to your ticket.

I will come back to this post if it happens again. Thanks again!
