run driver-sweeper to clear out the stored driver.
Then try a driver re-install.
The information you mentioned is limited.
Keeping that in mind I'd still say that a modern win xp pc should accept Sp3 easily. Furthermore, I would do a clean install of Windows until the SP3 was accepted. I'd then do Windows Updates then install the latest drivers for my video card.
After the clean install I'd check the device manager to see if my card was recognized and also through each service pack installation.
(Note: Only adviseable if the card is in fact working properly)
Don't be a mindless farm toon, we may need you on a non-soft SF someday. =)

Should it not, what OS? I am assuming XP? What vid card? What driver?
And a few details more from cohhelper or some-such.
You can also wait for the fix that's coming from the Devs. They mentioned the XP issue in their list of bugs that they're working on. That might fix it for you, and you can continue to play with SP2.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I'm curious as to how you would equate a "fix from the Devs" of this game, to an issue he's having with his operating system recognizing his video card?

We'll see....
OP: Are things working for you?
In '08 I installed SP3 and then rolled back to SP2 because of the same problem I'm having now. SP3 installs, but doesn't seem to recognize my video card. It won't allow me to select 1680x1050 resolution and Device Manager does not show my video card.
CoH I20 apparently won't work with SP2, so I have to solve this somehow.
I have already tried reinstalling the video driver, and it seems to have had as little effect on the computer as a bullet bouncing off Statesman's helmet.
Edit: (This is a Radeon 4650, but during the same fiasco 3 years ago, it was an Nvidia card in the same machine.)
