You appear to be running Stardock. Make sure that it does NOT skin Cityofheroes.exe, otherwise it will cause it to freeze like you describe.

That's a difficult answer, at least for me since I've never actually used stardock windowblinds.
Two possible ways I can think of. First go to your city of heroes folder and right click on either cityofheroes.exe or cohupdater.exe Then look at the options and see if there is a check box or some such for skinning them. If there isn't then click on properties and see if there is anything under one of those tabs.
Second possible way. Windowblinds should be listed somewhere in your program files. If not then it can be found here C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\MyColors\VistaSrv.exe on your system. Run it and see if you can find out how to disable it for certain programs or shut it down entirely.
That's my best guess, sorry I can't be more specific. Hopefully somebody with previous windowblinds experience will show up.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
I've figured it out. If you're running Stardock, only open it up and go to Settings. Click "Add" in the Exclusion list, and find cityofheroes.exe. Add that to the list and it solves the problem.

This stardock program is one mother of a headache. It won't let open it saying it can only be opened by an administrator despite me being logged onto an administrator account. I'll keep working on it and if anyone here has suggestions I'd be much obliged.
Try right-clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator.
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.

Tried that no go. And thank you to everyone who has posted so far I appreciate it so much.
Is there an icon in the system tray you can click on to bring it up?

Help! I am able to run the updater as administrator, but once it says loading it stays there forever with no change. It's a brand new computer and 2 hours on the phone with Dell was not able to find a solution.

Tried to run City of Heroes Helper but it kept giving me this error message: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32
