yeah i do that and it comes up with an error message, it says...

for some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file. if any hijacked domains are in this file, hijackthis may not be able to fix this.

if that happens, you need to edit the file yourself. to do this, click start, run and type:

notepad C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and press enter. find the line(s) hijackthis reports and delete them, save the file as 'hosts.' (with quotes), and reboot.

for vista: simply exit hijackthis, right click on the hijackthis icon, choose 'run as administrator'.

and sorry i can't figure out what hijackthis's problem is it won't save the file it just shows some stuff that i have no idea how to read and says to type somthing into run to delete the files it brought up but i don't know if i should delete them or not

it sorta was working before i changed OS but i tried changing it so it would work better, that and for some reason my copy of windows wasn't accepting my cd key, but before i switch it would crash when ever i teamed with anyone and still would crash without teaming just alot less common, now it does the updater then crashes at the little thing that pops up and says loading

whats cohhelper?

[ QUOTE ]
Try disabling desktop composition.

Right click your City shortcut
Select 'Properties'
Select the 'Compatibility' tab
Click the box beside 'Disable desktop composition'

That helps some people with crashing in vista...

[/ QUOTE ]

that didn't work, any other ideas?

[ QUOTE ]
1) Do a current Virus scan and spyware scan
2) Defragment your hard drive
3) Ensure latest updates applied
4) Update all video drivers, and other drivers
5) Do a scandisk on your hard drive
6) Check running temperatures on your computer.
7) Ensure all cooling fans are running
8) Do a dust-blast on your cooling fans and fins
9) Ensure all cables are securely fastened, cards are tight, and memory is tight.
10) Do a memory test
11) Get HiJack This and post the results in the Tech Forum, asking for help
12) I thought Win 7 was in Beta.... No guarantees there.

[/ QUOTE ]

first of all, i ran all those tests as soon as i started to have problems and secondly win7 isn't in beta anymore their just letting people try it for like a year.

anyone conected to CoH hasn't responed, i sent afew in game petitions with no response, over a 2 weeks, i've sent emails to the tech support with no response, i've even sent pm's to some of the people on the forums. and as for my problem, my game just seems to crash randomly all the time, most common while teaming, to the point where i just can't play the game, and i've ran every test i can think of on my computer and i've reinstalled the game, it seems nothing on my end is causing it. and do you know why CoH won't load in win7, it goes threw the updater then it says it encountered a problem and crashs.

Go to your master PlayNC.com account and make sure that your email is verified. Then make sure that any email they are sending you isn't be filtered into your spam or junk mail folders. Click here for more info.

When you submit a /petition in-game, you're supposed to get an email with a customer service ticket number. You can then follow up on your 'case file' by going to the customer support page with that ticket number for further correspondence.

If you don't get any emails back from your petitions, you can go directly to that customer service page linked right above and start a new 'ticket.'

[/ QUOTE ]

and yes i've made sure it was the right email, i've checked my spam boxes and everything, so if they are sending somthing back they sent it somewhere else. and all the crashing seemed to start around the release of issue 14.

oh and sorry for posting this in 2 places i wasn't really sure where to put it

okay i have 2 questions i would like answers to, first why does no one working for nc soft or any company that could help me with CoH crashing all the time bother paying attention to me or helping me even in the slightest way. i haven't gotten any reply from anyone related to CoH. and secondly, does CoH not work in windows 7?
