COH won't load on new computer

Today I got a new computer and downloaded CoH but I'm having problems getting the game to load. About 3/4's of the way through the loading I start to get heavy screen flickers. The log in screen will appear and I can enter my user name and password, select my server and character, but the entire time I'm getting screen flickers (appx every 3-5 seconds). When the zone loading screen appears it only gets about 1/5 of the way on the loading taskbar before crashing. The entire time I'm getting flickers, even seeing the loading screen graphic again. It takes over 5 mins from the time the zone screen appears till the program shuts down. I've tried verifying files, safe mode and running under Windows XP compatibility. I know it's a tech support question and I've submitted a ticket but thought maybe someone here might have some suggestions.

The computer is running Windows 7, graphics card is an ATI Radeon 5850 and I have 4 gigs RAM.

Any ideas would be appreciated.


Found hotfix for my graphic driver. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Have you updated your ATI drivers with the 9.13 hotfix?

Yes, thanks, someone directed me to the hotfix last night and that took care of the problem. I appreciate the help.
