bump
It's usually not good practice to bump your post after only 4 hours.. especially in the middle of the night when it's still easily visible on the first page. (Not to mention, bumping posts is against the forum rules.)
That said.. You could have spent that 4 hours checking out the stickied thread entitled Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines which has instructions for you to provide us with CoH_Helper and HiJackThis reports when you need our help. This helps give us a bit more information to help find a cause of the problem and possibly be able to provide an easy answer.
For now.. I'd say if you didn't have problems before you changed your driver.. make sure the driver you are using is compatible with W7, and/or just roll back to the other driver that worked.

figured it out. the drivers weren't up to date for a 64 bit system. thank you for you help mateo
Like the title says. As soon as I load up the game theres black lines all across the screen. Before I updated my video drivers, it didnt do this, then i did update and thats when the black lines began to show. Im running dual 9600GTs.
I think the problem is either the game bugs out due to the dual video cards, or since im on Win 7 RC1. Most likely because of RC1, but all other games run fine. (WoW, L4D, CoD4 and 5)
any info and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
