CoX and X550 in Beta 2

I can't get City of Heroes/Villains to run in the 64 bit version of Vista.
In other posts people have been able to get it working, they don't specify
which version, so I can only assume it's the 32 bit they are using as their
tricks don't work for me. I have an AMD64 3200+ and an Asus X550 video card.
The problem is definitely video related, but the ATI Catalyst drivers for
Vista don't fix it, nor does the "original" Vista drivers. Does anyone have
any suggestions to get this working?

Xayoz,

What I saw with Windows Vista 32 bit that I can't install the X550 driver no
mather which version I tried. When I use my onboard X2xx express everything
works OK. The strange is when I want to use my X550 it doesn't detect it so
it installs a vgasafe videocard is this the same with your system ?

Regards,

Johan

No, it does indeed have x550 drivers, not vgasafe. You should be abl to d/l
beta drivers from ATI and run fine, right up until you try to load the
game...everything else works just peachy.
