If the Avast uninstall doesn't work, just to get ya on tonight try this. Forget about moving anything from folder to folder now, leave that stuff where it's at. Here's hoping you got room on your hard drive.
Login to
cohtitan.com, NOT
cohtitan.com/forum, they are separate logins and passwords and you need to use the login and password for the
root site.
If you can't login to the root site, that's the problem.
If you can login to the root site go to
http://www.cohtitan.com/manage and scroll down to where it should say:
"Paragon Chat: Your account is linked! You can log into Titan's Paragon Chat server as (GlobalName)@chat.cohtitan.com."
For you it should read something like "bitmonkeyprime@cohtitan.com".
Download the full
Tequila and install it into your My Documents folder. This will take time but we're just trying to get you on ASAP.
Then go into those new Tequila folders in your My Documents and run Tequila.exe.
In the box that pops up it should read "Paragon Chat v0.97c".
If it doesn't, close it and go
HERE and dowload the current "ParagonChat.exe" file and paste it over the "ParagonChat.exe" file that's in the Tequila folder in your My Documents, then run that Tequila.exe again and in the box that pops up, it should read "Paragon Chat v0.97c".
If it does, click on "Paragon Chat v0.97c" and click "Play". Do not close this box.
A new box will pop up requesting a login and password. The login will be (GlobalName)@chat.cohtitan.com, spelled exactly how it told you on the site. The Password will be the password you used to get onto cohtitan.com (the root site).
Then click to Launch the game. Do not close this box either.
At the City of Heroes Freedom login screen, type in your Global name and any password (just make one up) and that should do it.
I'm running Win7 with free Avast and no problems, but as CW said, that's not proof Avast isn't the cause of your issue.
