I'd recommend starting with setting your CCC and ingame graphics setting to those listed in the first post of Bill Z Bubba's excellent ATI Issues and Settings Recommendations thread that is stickied in this forum. Once you have everything running smoothly, using that post as a guide, you can start tweaking graphics settings if you really want to. I've found that those settings give me a gorgeous gaming experience so I just leave them at those settings unless I'm doing a Hami Raid or a Rikti Mothership Raid.

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.

I don't recommend setting it for Compatibility Mode at all, but DO recommend setting it to Run As Administrator on that same Compatibility tab.

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.
