Error when loading game - nvidia GeForce 8500GT Windows Vista 32-bit

I last was logged into and playing the City of Hero game in Praetoria, US Freedom Server, on Sunday February 13 2011.

The next time I tried to log in (I think it was Tuesday February 15 2011) I received the following error after pressing "Next", before the login screen would load:



My hardware has not changed. Graphics card is an nvidia GeForce 8500GT for Windows Vista 32-bit.




So far I tried loading the most recent driver version 8.17.12.6658 aka 266.58

I tried uninstalling and reloading the drivers that were on the system last week.

I tried uninstalling and reloading the most recent drivers again.

I tried uninstalling and deleting the ENTIRE City of Heroes game from my system, then re-downloading the game from scratch at http://download.cityofheroes.com/US/CoH_NA_Setup.zip



As easy to surmise, I still can't get past that same error message.

I've exhausted my troubleshooting know-how. I've tried browsing this technical forum for similar situations, but can't figure out what to try next.

Any and all constructive advice would be sincerely appreciated (and desperately needed).



Stuck,

This is definitely a problem with your video card drivers. Try running one of the driver sweeper tools to remove all remnants of the old driver before installing the new driver.

I re-uninstalled, swept, and installed video drivers as instructed. Error persists.
