I recently upgraded my laptop to vista 64 and since the upgrade I have not been able to get CoH/CoV to launch. Everytime I load the game it crashes at the initial load screen, before I ever even see the login screen. I get two fatal errors. The first claims that I need Direct X 8.0 or newer to run the game, which is already well beyond 8.0 at base install but has been updated as far as is possible (i.e. if I try to update it will not let me do anymore updating). The second is a fatal error stating that I have no mouse or keyboard installed. I have no idea what that is about since I am using a laptop, but hten none of this makes much sense to me at this point. In the event that it matters I am running a Turion 64x2 processor with 4gb of ram, and an ATI radeon X1200 series integrated card. ATI drivers and catalyst are all current (catalyst version 9.3). If anyone has any idea what is causing this issue, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Iam stuck and all my interent searches have turned up nothing. I have tried to doing installs both off of the CD and from the downloadable client. Neither works, both with the same errors. I have windows 7 coming very soon, but at this point I am a bit consumed with figuring out what is causing my problem. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
