I got a new computer a few days ago. The old one had Windows Vista and could run Champions Online without any problems. Now the new one has Windows 7 and every time I try to start CO, it get this message:

"Error 5: The filespec is not loaded."

Any idea how to fix this? :(

Hm .. never heared of that error

Have you updated your drivers so far ?

Also is your CO directory under the windows programs folder or elswhere ? I would suggest to NOT put it
under the programs folder, since there often seem to be strange security problems with file access.

As far as I know, my drivers are all updated.

Atm, I have CO in the Programs(x86) folder. It got installed there automatically.
On my old PC, I had it in the My Games folder, but that one doesn't exist on Windows 7. I already tried the Saved Games folder instead, but I still get the same error from there.

I'll try installing it via Steam next.

Just create a folder /games on your harddisk and move your current CO folder there an correct the icon on
your desktop to c:\games\Champions Online.exe or wherever it is now .. that should normally be enough.

Maybe also check that nothing is set to read-only with rightclicking on the folder.
