CoH locks up computer when trying to start...

Recently, when trying to launch CoH, my computer goes to a black screen... and just stops there. I never get to the point where I can log into the game, just a black screen. At this point, I have to manually turn off my machine to get out of it.

I do not know what could have changed to cause this... I recently replaced my wireless antenna (including drivers), but I tested the game right after that, and it worked then. So I have no idea what changed in the last couple of days to render me unable to access the game. (Well, besides Murphy deciding that I don't deserve to participate in the Head Start?)

Here's my machine's info:

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
