Lapid

Sorry for the late reply. At this point, I've uninstalled my drivers and cleaned it but now the problem is that the NVIDIA installers don't detect the drivers. Did I do something wrong?

EDIT
I've managed to download and install NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX after uninstalling and cleaning but CoHHelper still says this:

Monitor:
Monitor's Max Resolution: (blank)
Video Device Name: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX
Manufacturer / Chip: NVIDIA / GeForce Go 7950 GTX
Video Memory: 1512 MB
Driver Version: 7.15.11.7948
Driver Date: 1/30/2009 9:12:00 AM
Driver Language: English

Any other suggestions?

Yeah that confused me when I saw my post. I've been trying to update via the NVIDA site and it looks as if the program works. It goes through all the motions and even successfully restarts. If it isn't working, is there anything to remedy it?

So much for a first post.

I'm sure you guys have gotten this question numerous times but this seems new to me. After downloading Windows 7, I've been experiencing some problems. At the log in screen, my CoH shows wavy black lines that move downward (which I can't screenshot since it ends up completely black). The bottom notice said something along the lines of "IMPORTANT: Your computer seems to be using older drivers for your video card," which made be go to that driver guide within this section.

Before you ask, yes I have updated my drivers through that NVIDIA site and I've redownloaded CoH. Attached is a picture of my computer specs.


Sorry for the trouble.

EDIT
For the record, I've been playing CoH for a little more than a year without a problem on Windows XP. This is the first time I've tried to play it on Windows 7.
