The best place for this is the Technical Issues thread - it's the "ALL ACCESS" forum under the development heading (above this forum's section).
As far as I know, you don't need to worry too much about it - and the people in the other forum have dealt with this before.
This is more a "Where do you find X in game?" help forum than "My cup holder on the computer is busted!" forum.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Post the info back here.
So you've gone into Add/Remove programs and uninstalled pretty much ANYTHING that says AMD/ATI on it?
Links to current Catalyst drivers for HD Mobility 6***M series.
64-Bit Windows Vista/7:
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/mobile/c...4-bit_util.exe
32-Bit Windows Vista/7:
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/mobile/c...2-bit_util.exe
If you're on XP (which may be the issue), the ONLY place to get drivers is from the laptop manufacturer (which may be out of date).
If you can get the original drivers to reinstall, you can set up the launcher to just ignore the "out of date" warning. It's simply a detection routine to tell you your drivers are technically out of date. It doesn't mean the game isn't still playable.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Basically what some of the ISVs do is pay to have a "special" (in the negative connotation) version of the card made with custom firmware revs, cheaper construction, different RAM amounts, etc. The official drivers won't recognize them because they're essentially "one off" lots that the ISV has taken responsibility for (meaning they sell it, you buy it, and they do jack and **** in the way of actual support (because that would cost money) after).
