CoH/V and Vista

hello all,
Came back to play the halloween event, and also did the free return weekend, and have had a problem with CoH on my gaming rig which is running vista. I can get into game and play for maybe 10-15 minutes, but then the game stops responding and I get a grey screen, and have to ctrl/alt/delete to bring up the task manager and shut down the game. It does this every time I try to play on the vista rig, and this is the only game that I'm having problems with...Aion plays beutiful on this machine. I can play CoH on my XP machine, but the frame rate is lower and it doesnt look as good.

Can anyone give me some advice or a fix?
Thanks

I'd recommend starting with Zloth's ++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++ thread that is stickied in this forum.

Secondly, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.

Thirdly, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

*I think you mean Control+Shift+Esc.

The Task manager will not come up in Vista with ctr+shift+del, as far as I know...

/nitpick

Ctrl-alt-del gives a security menu with options to log off, change password, and start task manager. Ctrl-shift-esc brings task manager up directly.
