Windows 7 issue

Hey guys. I had this game on my older desktop and it ran great with Vista.

I recently got a brand new laptop running Win7. I installed CoX on it and while the installation was relatively harmless, the game won't run. I boot it up and it says the color scheme has changed to Windows 7 basic. A few seconds pass and a message states City of Heroes has stopped working followed by another prompting me to close the program.

What can I try and what do you guys need to know in order to help me? Thanks.

right off hand it sounds like you need to get some drivers for your graphics card: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=219502

Thanks! The game is booting up now. Thanks a ton for the help!
