I haven't tried to run CoH (and by extension, HeroStats) on my Windows 7 laptop, but perhaps the advice Skip (developer for HS) gives for Vista will help?

Other than that, short of making sure you have the right .NET packages installed, and uninstalling/reinstalling HeroStats afterwards, I'm not sure.
As far as I know it never ran on top of the game in Vista (my mate complained non-stop about this after migrating from XP to Vista) and the same with Windows 7 (I'm running WIn7 x64 RC and never managed to get it to sit over the game window)
This might be different if you run the game windowed, I don't know - I always run full-screen. The application itself runs just fine.

Ah right, I actually do remember this. If you run the game full-screen in Vista, the overlay won't appear. If you run it windowed (which I did on Windows), it will overlay fine.

Yeah, I read all about the problems with Vista. The odd thing is, the overlay worked fine the first couple of times that I used it. I've never played CoH in windowed mode either. Oh well, I guess I will keep messing around with it.

Okay, this is driving me insane. The first day I used HeroStats the overlay worked fine. Now whenever I use it, it won't display over CoH. I haven't (knowingly) changed a thing since yesterday. Has anyone had this problem and possibly found a solution? It's just so odd that it would suddenly stop working correctly.
