Hmm, not sure. I run CoH from the Program Files director:
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cohupdater.exe"
You might want to check and see if you have a copy there, the updater may have installed things differently than you think.
Otherwise: What other symptoms do you see? Does the down load restart? It shouldn't, there should be a quick check and then a license agreement to click through.
If you are really unsure of your new settings, try starting in Safe Mode, which is a minimum settings & resolution mode so you can get back into the game and tweak stuff.
That's about all I got. Try posting in the Technical Issues forums, those guys are pretty smart and can spot problems quickly.
Oh, the obvious would be for you to post your system stats. OS version, video card, memory, video driver, etc. It'll help get things started.

right off hand, if you installed your game to a different folder, that's going to be the problem. |

But why does it do that? How do I launch the game now? I really want to play, so please help! Thank you! |
The game should have set a separate icon on your desktop that points to the install location. You may have to adjust the shortcut to point to the correct drive.

It's not about my computer specs, it's more about how the updater is built up I believe, since the game runs perfectly fine, or, at least it did until I was going to start it up again only to find out the updater wants to install the game again, when I have it installed.

And you told the computer to pin to your taskbar the program that was running, right?
Unpin that icon.
Navigate to D:\Program Files (x86)\CoH
(or D:\Program Files\CoH if you are using Windows 7 32bit), and pin the cohupdater file.

and I'm not sure what you're at... I mean, I have a normal taskbar that shows what programs that are running, but I also have anotherbar with shortcuts on.
Okay. Is this what you have going on?
That little bar next to the the start menu?
For reference, that is called the Quick Launch.
