COh worked fine till yesterday, now stuck onloading screen
I'd recommend uninstalling the nvidia drivers again, but this time reinstall from the drivers installer (downloading a new one if needed). It's quite likely that the restore point didn't restore all of the drivers files (such as ones related to OpenGL), which the nVidia installer should be able to fix.

That appears to have fixed it, thanks.
I was trying to put a new graphics card and PSU into my computer, uninstalled the drivers for my nvidia card, turned the pc off and put in the new radeon card and replaced the old 350watt PSU with a 400-450PSU. It didn't work, I think the new card may be faulty as I got no signal on the monitor, so I put the old graphics card back but keeping the new PSU in and used system restore to return to a point just before uninstalling the old drivers. Now Coh gets stuck at the loading screen just prior to the login.
Edit: Also would be quite impressed if anyone could tell me why I can't get a second monitor to work with this set up, trying to get a second monitor to have dual monitors was the reason I got the new graphics card and PSU, was suggested to me the graphics card was to blame nad hece replace it. It still works fine but can't get a second monitor to work off it.
For clarity incase my rambling is overly confusing
old graphics card(currently in system): Nvidia 9400 GT
new card(didn't work so back in box) Radeon 5450
