    I'm not even sure what a graphics tablet is, so I doubt that is the problem, however I've installed a web cam since I last played the game and I'm wondering if that might be the problem. What do you guys think?

    I don't have any of those type of programs. I didn't even know there was such a thing until I read out them in one of the post in this forum.

    But have you tried starting by checking 'Safe Mode' in the start-up screen. It will start CoH with minimum settings.
    Yes I have tried safe mode. No luck.

    I have played the game before on this computer and had no problems, but it was a year ago. Maybe it's just time for a new computer.

    Never mind, I figured out how to do this, however it still hasn't fixed the problem.

    Game Won't Load

    I havn't played this game in a while, but I decided to start it up again. I reinstalled the game, but when I try to open it it patches just fine, I agree to the terms, then I click next. I get the "loading" screen, wait, wait and wait, but nothing happens.

    I've tried re-installing but nothing changed. I read Zloth's post, but I don't have any type of windows skinning program. At this point I'm not sure what to do. The game worked fine about a year ago.

    I checked my firewall and made sure that the firewall wasn't blocking the program.

    Here is my info from HyjackThis:
