City of Heroes won't start

[Meltman]

I run the updater program, hit next and all that, the little bar with loading comes up, and....nothing. It just gets stuck there. Anyone know how I can fix this?

[Bari Jon]

have you had it reverify files? That might just do it...

[Meltman]

First thing I did.

[Bari Jon]

and the checksum file(s)? did you delete them? And restarting your computer, is always a good idea.

[Bari Jon]

*thinks about going into technical support with these really simple ideas that Melts probably already checked*

[Yin]

Do what Bari suggested, and if that doesn't work check with Support. I would say check and see if your card has any newly released updates, but it sounds like a rather silly idea. Could always give it a try though.

[Meltman]

Did both of those before I asked. They didn't do anything. And I checked with support, and didn't get anything.

*does a rain dance for Meltman's computer* What? Nothing else seems to be working! :(

[Meltman]

Got it working. As I had begun to suspect, it was a windows update that I had installed after loging off the last time (was the only thing that I had changed between that time). Did a system restore to before then, CoH works now.

[Bari Jon]

Yay!! The rain dance worked! :D
