I ran into this recently. You can call, but I just did it through the online customer service. They had to elevate it once, but the second support level I got to reset things for me just fine. I should also mention that while I think I had it lock once or twice, it was a temporary lock, so you can try more later. I'm not quite sure when it unlocks though.

I've been picking at this a bit. It turns out that running in Windows 95 or 98 compatibility mode works, though the cursor's messed up some. Going to play with it more, but I thought I'd mention that.

As much as I enjoy CoH, the improvements to my general quality of life with 7 over Vista make me happy enough having it, though that's partly because Vista hammered my system really hard. I'm mildly surprised that it /does/ seem to have all been Vista, but based on the fact that everything runs smoothly, that appears to more or less be the case.

At any rate, I realize there might not be a simple answer. If there isn't, that's fine, but I'd rather ask here and find that out than not ask at all. Sometimes someone has had a similar problem, and come up with a solution that works for them. It's just an off chance hope, but one that's worth typing up a few words for.

Also thank you to Mid, I will at least give that a try.

Yes, there is that connection.

I've been having trouble running the game since upgrading to Windows 7. I realize that's not too strange, except that plenty of other people seem to do just fine with it, and I'm not seeing many posts about it being a problem. Stranger, my roommate and I both have the same problem, despite not having anything related as far as computers go.

At any rate, my problem is that it can't seem to load any of my characters. It goes really slow after I select one, and then eventually fails. What's really odd is it works fine one time if I uninstall then redownload, but after that one time it then downloads something on my next try, and won't work again. The exact same thing happens to my roommate, even though his computer is a custom-built desktop and mine is an HP laptop. Anyway, just curious if anyone else has a problem like this, or any ideas. I've installed all updates, and new drivers.
