Ever checked your system / direct x settings with <b>dxdiag</b>? What current version are you running? Does this error only accure if you start pirates?

My DirectX is 9.0c, and it is no any problems when I run in full window mode.

Does anyone help me to solve this problem?

Look in yer Config.ini file under My Documents > My Games > Sid Meier's Pirates! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Fred Bob be findin' dat windowed mode ain't necessary if'n he be wantin' tew see his Desktop or check email in `mid-game`. Jus' press yer Windows key (between Ctrl an' Alt) an' de game minimizes quite nicely, allowin' ye see an' use yer Desktop! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
