No, it's not an Asus card.

Last time I saw this error reported, it was down to the motherboard chipset drivers. Try making sure these are fully up to date, as well as the video drivers.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
The Chipset Drivers, the latest I could find were apparently a lower version than the ones I had. Installed anyway. Then tried the VGA drivers, and it said 'This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software.'
What the hell?

Have you tried updating to the latest version of directx as well? if you have vista you'll also need the vista nvidia hotfixes.

Many and varied!
@Miss Chief
It's not the graphics card itself - I have the same one and I run the game fine.

Unless they've transcended past 9C then no, because such a things does not exist.
I'm not running Vista either.

DirectX 9.0c receives regular updates, the most recent of which was earlier this month (version 9.25.1476).
Unfortunately this does look like a drivers+hardware issue of some sort. Depending on where the conflict lies, it may take a bit of effort to track down. If you haven't already, try contacting out support team.
I had a similar problem when I'd installed the motherboard drivers after the graphics drivers. It had major issues for reasons I can only guess at.
I presume you've erased all traces of driver from your system, scrubbed it clean with DriverCleaner, then reinstalled it all again.
Gah that sounds really patronising, I hope you dont take it like that...it certainly wasn't meant that way.
Do you have the same problem with any other games?

Tried launching City of Heroes since reformatting my computer and getting a new Gfx card, and get these messages:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>You card or driver doesn't support GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array
You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_multitexture
You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_compression
Detected video card or driver is currently unsupported NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS.
The game may run poorly or not at all with your current configuration.
City of Heroes has crashed and cannot continue.
You may need to upgrade to a supported video card or driver. </pre><hr />
My Graphics Drivers are up to date.
So, my questions are: Why exactly is my card unsupported? Has anyone else gotten this message? And is there a way to fix it?
