Hi there. I love Sid Meier's Pirates! It has to rank up there as one of the greatest games of all time. Sadly, I cannot get it to work on my computer.
It loads the installation screen, it asks me to register (I don't), and goes through the installation process. But when I start it in regular or safe modes, all that happens is a black screen with a spinning ship's wheel in the middle. It never advances on.
I've tried compatibility modes, but I can't seem to find one that works.
I hope someone can help me out here... I love this game, I have since it came out in '87! A lot of high school study time burned away on it.
