Short of copying from your other machine, or installing from a disk, not really.

found my GoodvsEvil disk thank for link though.
On this comp (new one is being used by someone else presently) my gaming experience was as follows:
-->it would take about 12 minutes to get to login screen
-->about 3 minutes on first load in after I opened it and average 6 after that in low average traffic zones on freedom, best loads were like 2 minutes and anything considered near busy and it averaged about 10 minutes.
-->I had the graphics down to a point I don't think it will let me get to on the new comp
--> had 504 mb of ram and many people commented it was a miracle I could play
--> it was average for me to disconnect, map-serve, or crash ever 4 loads
-->It was a danger for me to use WW and would take 4-10 minutes to load it and was extremely slow to use.
--> when I dced if I did not close and reopen CoH I would dc upon reloading
Now:
-->recommended graphics looks like I upgraded from Nintendo(original) to a 360
-->about a minute to load login screen and less then 20 seconds to zone
--> I zone in just a few seconds(said WW which is from a totally separate game)
Its so beautiful and fast I cried.
Had a similiar experience when I saw a friend play the game on a EIGHT THOUSAND dollar video-toaster-movie-editor-space-shuttle-launcher.
So beautiful...

1) Burn your entire CoH directory to a dvd.
2)Copy the contents onto your new computer in the C:\Program Files\city of heroes directory.
3) play the game )
If i am forgetting anything gang, please input. Its been a while since I have done this and may have missed a step.
Thats how I do it and that way you have a good copy of the game ( with recent updates/patches) incase anything horrible should go wrong.
Even if you don't use the disk again for 2 issues you don't have that much to DL.
Peace!

I keep my backup on USB thumb drive and a 2nd hard drive. I'm on dial-up so a drive crash would be very, very bad with a game this large.
