I'm trying to lower my CPU usage for CoH. With only CoH open its around 96% and the jittery movement, even though it is minimal, gives me a headache after a few minutes. I recently installed windows 7 which is when the issues started, when I was running XP I didn't have any issues. I've even lowered some of my ingame settings but don't want to lower things too much and lose all the pretty, though I'm not opposed to lowering a few things if it will make the game playable.
I thought maybe it would help to install CoH on the hard drive that isn't running the OS but didn't want to go through reinstalling if it won't make a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Since they are making a purchase I think that means they will be a premium account, giving them access to tells and email. I'm also guessing it means they will have 400 paragon points to spend since they will have an active account for one month.

So, I log in character A and change my hide settings to Hide from Global Friends and Hide from Global Chat Channels. I log out and log in character B and my previous hide settings are reset so I’m not longer hidden. If this is how it’s supposed to work I just don’t see the logic in it. What’s the point of being able to hide from people on your friend lists if you then can’t change characters without them seeing that you’re logged on? I’m wondering if this is a bug because I’m pretty sure I remember the settings used to carry over from one character to the next.

I got 11 free between my two accounts and purchased 10 more. The purcahses went through quickly and no problems placing any of em.

My only problem is they are all full of new toons now, but I think thats my fault.

*dies of excitement*
I was ecstatic about the pricing and now we're getting all these free slots too! Between my two accounts I'll be getting 11 free slots!
Once this goes live I'm gonna have to reactive my third account and start remaking those unplayed toons on my main accounts. And probably buy at least 5 slots right away...I'm not an altoholic, really I'm not.
