"Couldn't change to fullscreen. The graphics mode is not supported. Setting game to 800 x 600 windowed mode."

This is the error I get when I try to start COH after upgrading to the 190.38 drivers on the EVGA website for the 9 series cards... I can't seem to find a link to download the COH helper so I'm not sure how to get it... I even google'd it... I have an EVGA 9800GT hybrid power. Anyone else have issues with this? I am also running windows 7... I can revert back to the 170 series drivers, but I heard these worked with COH as the 185's didn't. Any help would be great!

PLEASE NOTE: COH will start but it stays in windowed mode even if I change it! Thanks for the help in advance!!

I am using 190.38 myself with win 7. Different (read older) card and am not having this issue. Possibly bad installation? If it were me, I would probably uninstall, run Driver Sweeper 2.0.5 to remove everything left by behind by the uninstaller, re-download 198.30 and re-install and see if it makes a difference.

If I still had problems, then I would revert.

So how'd it work out?

I am having a similar problem.

Sorry I never posted a conclusion! I did driver sweeper and still had problems with 190.38 version. Since then I have upgraded to an EVGA GTX 260 216 cores 1792mb card! I seem to have driver crashing problems now! lol! I think it is a PSU issue though. Graphics look amazing when it is running good though! Max settings for all games i've played!

Sorry that was a bit off topic. I would steer clear of the 190.38 drivers! Just get the newest! I think my problem with my 9800GT was something to do with the fact that I was using an HDTV as a monitor. It was not very friendly with the HD over lap... o well! Now I have to get my issues sorted out with the GTX 260!
