    Doesnt always cause problems and I do run it without issue, Might want to check to make sure it is not having issues.

    unless you use Groove, I would turn it off, wasted resourse for most people.

    with having 4 GB of memory, 32 bit os and 12gb free HD space. I would check your swap file settings in windows. If windows in managing it, you could be swapping out 2-3 gb of that free space idle.

    you may think 12gb is a lot but it can go fast if windows things it needs more for the swap space.

    I covered that when i started Windows with minimal background programs running.

    And i deleted pretty much everything on the harddrive bar City of Heroes (100 GB left, roughly) Still no dice

    No change, if anything, it takes longer to load, cause windows seems to take things slow when minimal starting

    Ok, how do i change the settings without being able to get in-game? the farthest i've gotten to was the character screen.

    EDIT: how is 12 gb a lack of harddrive space?

    I have moved the installation to default folder, Compatibility mode off, run as admin on, reinstalled graphics drivers correctly (not that they weren't already) and excluded City of Heroes from windows firewall.

    No improvement.

    More suggestions?

    Windows 7 issue

    POST-ACTION

    Ok, so i bought CoH Architect edit. through steam a couple of hours ago, downloaded and installed the game just fine, however i am seeing unusually long load times (takes 2-3 minutes to start up the game) However, my main issue is that when i made a character, and try to get in the game, my game starts to load, and after 5 minutes (still trying to load) the game returns to the login screen (probably cause my client timed out, i guess)

    I am trying to figure out why there are such huge loading times, that i cannot even get in the game.

    here's my CoHHelper info:
