Hi, I used to play CoH years ago and have recently wanted to come back. I downloaded the client and CoH. When I run CoH as "administrator" The blue stripe that says "loading" appears and just stays there and nothing happens no matter how long I wait. I have two graphics cards installed. I have a Nvidia 335m GT, and a standard intelchipset for when I am not gaming. I used to be able to get the game to run with the intel chipset but that is no longer possible (it could only run in safe mode anyway because it isnt meant for games). My Nvidia card doesn't load it at all. Any help is greatly appreciated!
System specs:
Alienware m11x
CPU: Intel i7 processor at 1.3ghz with turbo boost.
GPU: Nvidia 335m GT(I have tried numerous drivers with this card from 280.26 to 275.66, so I don't think it's a driver issue although it may be)/Intel chipset
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
