Tough one. Closest solution I've found is a faulty/bad/corrupt ActiveX control. First, run a comprehensive virus/adware/spyware check. Use AVG if you dont have it. The come back here.
If anything it sounds like you may have a bit of bad memory. I suggest you Google/Bing/Ask for memory test utilities.
I use Memtest86 and Memtest86+, both of which you can download for free but you do need to know how to burn an ISO image or have a floppy disk on your system.
You could also crack open your box and reseat the memory and if you tweaked the timings and voltages think about starting back at the rated defaults for that type of memory.

Thanks for the replys, even though I barely understood half of what was said due to my inability to understand "computer talk". I am just not very good with computers, I will google what you said and see what I can figure out.

The two utilities I linked to are designed to be run without first booting into Windows, DOS, Linux, etc. Because of that they are provided either as a program that will install the utility, a free version of DOS and create a bootable floppy disk or as a CD image (not a DVD, a CD important distinction) so you can burn a bootable CD-ROM. However burning an ISO image is not what most burning programs list as an option in their "simple" menu. However if you dig around in should be able to find this option.
Reseating memory simply means that with your computer turned off you remove and reinsert the memory into their slots, making sure that they are all the way in with the locking clips on either side fully engaged.

I need some major assistance bad. For the past 3 months I have been having problems staying in game. I will be able to play for about 2-3 minutes and then for some unknown reason, I am booted from the game with a strange error message. I have been playing this game for some years now and I have not encountered this problem before.
When I attempt to log back in, the updater starts verifying files. But before it can complete it stops and I get this message box to pop up with the following in it .
Microsoft Visual C++Debug Library
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: C:/Program Files/City of Heroes/CoHUpdater.exe
File: dbgheap.c
Line: 1279
Expression:_CrtIsVadlidHeapPointer(pUserData)
For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

Abort Retry Ignore
Now I have no clue as to what this means. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and after the long update, I am able to log back in, but after about 1 minutes I get booted again. I have uninstalled this game like 9 times and I am very tired and frustrated. Can anyone help me and has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you solve it.
