many many mnay thanks in advance

sorry i have updated everything
gfx card

internet explore
dont know what else to check
so till i sort this i wont be in game

It would be worth a try to move the updater out of C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\ and put it somewhere else, such as a new directory C:\Program Files\City Updater\. Change the desktop shortcut to match the new location, or just paste a new shortcut and delete the old. When you get the game to run, delete any new copy of the updater it creates in C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\.

Don't use CoVupdater. Use CoHupdater.exe
