check firewall and its ok with letting coh/cov across

any idea's and why any shortcut to start up wont work

dont wanna have to install the game everytime i want to play

many many mnay thanks in advance

I believe covupdater is not supported anymore. Try "cohupdater.eu.exe".
Also explain better what happens or doesn't happen. Does any window start or nothing at all?

Try the following:

1. Clear game registry settings:
a) Start "regedit" from Start menu > Run
b) Delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic" altogether

2. Start game in command prompt
a) Start "cmd" from Start menu > Run
b) Enter "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.EU.exe"
