Inspiron 1525 laptop with Vista....run COH/V for about 45 minutes then it crashes. This is my g/f's account so I'm doing the tech thing for her. I've been playing COH since launch and never had this problem. Finally got her to try it out and she LOVES it, but the crashing thing is obviously a problem. Please help save my relationship...lol....I have the girl of my dreams and she wants to game with me, but Vista is standing in the way.

I will install XP on this machine if I have to, because if there isn't a fix we will totally go back in OS time. At least I know how to tame XP, but Vista is a totally different beast that I have almost no experience with. I fear change!!!! Anyway, please help us so we can game together and I can earn me some nookie via COH.
