I installed and updated Windows 7 (64 bit) and City of Heroes onto my iMac's Bootcamp. When I start City of Heroes in Windows I get this:

Detected video card or driver is currently unsupported Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. The game may run poorly or not at all with you current configuration.
Current system requirements are NVidia GeForce 2 or better, ATI Radeon 8500 or better, or an Intel GMA 900 or better.
(If your card does meet the minimum requirements, you might not have the latest drivers.
Go to www.nvidia.com, www.ati.com, or www.intel.com to update your driver. In some cases, such as laptops, you may need to get the latest drivers from your computer manufacturer.)

My computer is fully updated: Mac OS X 10.6.7

I have have an ATI Radeon HD 5670:

This was the problem: It appears that the drivers for your ATI Radeon HD 5670 video card have not been installed for Windows 7. Please boot to Windows and insert the Mac OS 10.6 disc that came with your system. There is a file on that disc which will install the Windows drivers for your system.

It is working perfectly well now. Looks great too!
