The price of your Pc means nothing for assistance, chuck up your stats and we will see. Go back a couple of pages and see the x64 tricks or Patch up to 1.15beta if your an ATI user.

thanks for the reply. yes i did take a look at all the posts. i see some are having success while others are not. then again..there is a lot of success then it all goes wrong again. i understand price means nothing; my point was: i expected it play everything for that kind of money, ( i know: i am nieve). ie i even play MOH WARCHEST and the original CALL OF DUTY on it with no problems. what i didnt expect was a huge FPS by a well known maker to fall on its arse.
as i mentioned; i am a complete noob; as far as getting into the programs are concerned and the last thing i want to do is start messing with stuff i know nothing about. dropping RAM and msconfig; all that stuff is way out of my league. and as much i enjoyed flashpoint on xp i dont want to start messing with my rig for the sake of 1 game no matter how good it is. to be honest it just scares the hell out me and i dont want to risk even the slightest chance i might do something bad and not know how to reverse it. if it was a beat up junk pc then i would not have so much hesitation.
vista 64 premium...quad core 6700...8gb corsair ram...3x500gb raid hard drive...3xnvidia 8800gtx 756 SLI....asus striker formula 2 motherboard with fully customisable AI SUITE.
4 big fans on the outside and some on the inside.
using FRAPS as a monitor i get an average of 85 frames per second on far cry 2 when its very busy rising to 117 when things calm down. thats maxing out on all settings and max resolution. COD4 is an average 80 frames per second again maxing out on everything.
thats the stats but as i know now they mean nothing as someone explained in the forum that different games do different things with memory.

So what is your issue?
And your kit; "6700...8gb corsair ram...3x500gb raid hard drive...3xnvidia 8800gtx 756 SLI....asus striker formula 2" , ***is impressive and two to three years old, bar the MB.
Your running three gtx's in SLI? and your driver version for them is?
...Free people unbanable...
latest driver...problem is i get to the intro screen and it's blacked out in places

Windows 7 x64 (which is essentially the Vista kernel with bells on) working fine, EXCEPT I can't get Track IR to work.
Having come directly from XP is there anything in Vista you have to do to get Track IR to play ball? It works in other games, and is set up in the control configuration, so I don't know what else to try.

edit: Worked out what was wrong. I needed to run ArmA as Administrator as well

If your running SP2 beta, it must be uninstalled from your Windows updates.

Spoiler:
Hi all, wondered if anyone else is having the problem of running Vista 64 system, 8GB RAM and trying the Beta patch work around but still getting the black screen at start up?
Have a drivers updated eg card/SP1 etc but I start the specific Beta patch but no joy, specs are below re card/computer.
I know it works because I have the "reduce the system RAM to 3GB work around and game loads - I just wondered how to not have to do this with the Beta patch?

hi, i posted a couple of weeks ago with the same problem and decided to put the whole lot in the drawer untill a fix came along...then i thought one more go. uninstalled arma and queens gambit, went into the folders and everything that may contain trace of the games and deleted whatever i found including my anti virus software, and all vista security. if it was related to arma in any way it got deleted.. i then installed arma on its own..but i didnt attempt to play it...then went on to the arma armed assualt site and used to the gamers hell mirror to download the pathes one after the other. still not attempting to play the game at all. finished downloading all three patches. shut down and restarted (not just a restart) gave it 5 mins to properly warm up, crossed everything and preyed a little....bingo!!!! fully working; no hitches. sweet, smooth, perfect. then installed queens gambit..perfect again...running vista 64 prem 8gb of corsair ram with 3 8800gtx 756mb cards in sli on an asus striker 2 formula mother board...i have not got a clue what i did right. i did not want to tinker with anything as i am such a techno phobe its untrue. but there you go, running fine on 8gb of ram with vista at 75fps. hope this helps. it can be done but i honestly dont know how i did it. my cards were completely up to date...i cleansed the system of arma and BI then updated my cards...then installed then patched... I DID NOT USE THE BETA..other than that i figure i just got very lucky.

if you have a 4780, then yes more than 4GB will Black screen..Current solutions are to use the -window command, or limit your system ram thru MSCONFIG, or just remove some . If you Crossfire then the -window command will break that..., i just use MSCONIFG , BOOT ,Advance options , Maxmen, 3072.....
Its a known issue, hopefully Suma will have it in the 1.15 final or what ever # it will be.
I have been having troubble with playing editor maps on mp. The only reason i bring it up here is i think its a Vista problem. It did not happen to my before Vista, and when i am not on the mp server and a friend of mine hosts the server the problem goes away, but as soon as i join the server crashes. When i do get in and get it to work on a rare instance if the server needs to be reset everything become locked or is there but the game does not think it there because you cant interact with them. Including troops. We have the same mission files and MP mission file and the same Addons. Again i never had a problem with XP but just happened when i went to Vista 64 bit. I am this close to going back to XP if i dont find a solution soon. I hope you guys have heard this one and can help. Thanks for the time.
