ninjaspam

k thats what i figured. well ill prob have to try it on the weekend since i wont be here till next weekend unless my bro wants to try it himself.

k i had to do a system restore cuz the comp kept freezing so the game is uninstalled so im gonna reinstall it and just run hijackthis first b4 i mess with the drivers again cuz i dont wanna repeat the same process lol. and if hijacker doesnt really say anything then i might do what u said with the driver sweeper and the 197.45 drivers.

btw those links to the 2 drivers u posted r they for 32-bit or 64-bit?

texas justice, thanx for that answer. ya when i updated the drivers the game launched but it froze the comp and then when i restarted the comp it kept freezing without starting city of heroes. so i dont know if it messed up the comp or what. texas justice or someone else that knows what he texas justice was talkin about can u plz link me to the drivers i need to download and install?

ill let my bro do that since its his comp. and ill post the results when he does if he does lol.

when i try to run city of heroes i get this prompt:
detected video card or driver is unsupported NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT.
when i go to systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ and see if i can run city of heroes it says i pass and that the video card is fine but i guess u never know.
