I had this issue before as well.

I was clicking a desktop shortcut and it loaded then just quit. I ended up moving my shortcut to the games folder and launching it there and it worked fine. I don't know why.

You may also try right clicking the shortcut and "run as administrator.

You could also need to reinstall.

Are you running steam or retail btw?

Can you please give your complete specs?

1. CPU model and speed

2. Mem

3. Graphics card and memory ie. 8800gt 512

4. Graphics driver you are running.

there isn't even a shortcut in the games menu i have tried run as adminstrator thanks tho for ur suggestions

whats ur msn

so we can talk better

First are you on the admin account? Meaning do multiple people use the computer with multiple accounts? If so make sure you are on the admin one.

1. Right click on the arma2 shortcut

2. In the Target box add: -winxp

3. Apply and try again.

As I said above my driver is 190.62

Please type in proper english, this is a forum no online game chat. You have all the time you need to use "you" instead of "u" and check punctuation and spelling, thanks.

i have tryed winxp thingy and my driver is the same as urs

its a real pain and i dont understand it

1. Billabos, are you on the admin account?

2. Are you using any emulators? Daemon tools, alcohol 120%, nero etc?

3. Are your motherboard/chipset drivers up to date?

4. Are you sound drivers up to date?

Is Arma 2 patched to 1.3?

idk no about my sound drivers or my mother board drivers and i brought the game so im using the cd i will update them now

Update your motherboard/chipset, and sound drivers too.

goto start -> Type in the box "dxdiag" with no quotes. Under sound 1 tab it shoudl tell you what your sound card is. Probably realtek AC97 or HD something. Google the driver for that.

how do i update my chipset and mother board drivers?

soz about double posting

If you know what motherboard you have, just go to their website.

how do i find the name?

billabos do the following:

Press Windows key + R, in the field type dxdiag and click on OK or Run.

In the first screen of the application click No when it asks for signed drivers.

Next click on "Save all information". Save the generated file on your desktop and then upload it somewhere (rapidshare.com or yousendit.com) so we can download and check what's in your box.

Maybe a good soul will collect the needed drivers for you or atleast post links to the correct ones. ;)

Download everest free edition. That will find the motherboard name for you. Is this a dell or hp by any chance? If it is or anyother pre assembled pc, goto their website and their support menu. Then it will let you input the model of your pc, or its serial number.
