Similar problems as others -- after clicking the first two screens when starting CoH, the screen goes black. I can hear the music, but nothing else happens, no login screen, nothing. The only way out is killing the program through Task Manager.
This is a new machine that came with Vista SP1. All Windows upgrades are in place. I downloaded the client from NCSoft after getting the new system.
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.33 GHz
