I keep crashing when I try to log in

If it's not one thing, it's another. So I finally manage to get the patch and update, but now every time I try to log in the game crashes on me. I get to the load screen and the bar goes up to about maybe 20 to 25% percent and it crashes and takes me back to the log in. I've disabled firewalls, and no luck, and it's getting frustrating.


Here's my system info from CoHHelper

do you have anything else running while attempting to log in? also, check to make sure that you have done a disc clean up and defrag. check to see if any newer video drivers are available and make sure you save them to the desktop then use driver sweeper after removing and rebooting in safe mode to make sure there are no remenants of the old drivers left.

Well I've tried just about everything. Defraging the hard drive, clean the registry, disabled anti-virus, firewalls, anti-spyware, malware, updated drivers and still get the same result. So far the only option I'm seeing and wanting to avoid is to uninstall and reinstall the game.


-Edit-

Well finally got it working. Turns out in my attempts to fix the patching issue I had previously before this issue. I enabled compatibility mode for Windows XP, turned it off and runs smoothly. Always the last place you look
