Im running an Nvidia 8600m GT on a laptop, and yes, I have read the sticky reguarding graphics issues with CoH and tried what it said, I am using up to date drivers as well.
After I log into CoH and go to a server with characters on it, I used to get a crazy screen, almost like TV static but with some green stuff in it. But now the game just freezes up when I try it.
I also ran that CoH helper application and got this:
