Hello. I know there have been several posts on issues kind of like this, but my situation seems to be just a little different because I'm not using an ATI graphics card or getting any crash messages. So here's what is going on..
I'm playing on a HP laptop with windows vista 64 home standard and a Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT graphics card. I've been playing City of Heroes on this exact computer for the past two years. I never had a single problem until now. I took a small break about a month after Going Rogue came out. When I came back I updated so I could play and started up the game. All of a sudden my mouse cursor wasn't showing up!! I went ahead and made a new character without a mouse cursor, hoping it would pop up once the game started, but once I entered the game it was still missing. I finally found a post that explained how to fix this issue. It said 1. update your drivers and 2. right click on the game icon, go to options, and type -compatiblecursors 1 on the end of the target. So I went to the Nvidia website, find the newest drivers for my video card, updated, and then proceeded to step 2. When it was all said and done I loaded my game again and HOORAY I could see my mouse cursor!!! However, I went through the create character process again and once I get to the last screen where you name your character the game freezes completely. I have to ctrl+alt+del and force shut down. I tried starting up an existing character and that seems to work until I talk to a contact or a pop-up window opens (you know like one of those "<contact's name> wants to talk to you!" pop-ups). I never get an error message, I have to open my task manager every time to close the game, and every time the task manager says "not responding" by city of heroes. Like I said, I played about 4 months ago and the game worked perfectly fine, so what could be the problem now?
