woop123 1 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I was recently "hacked" by someone and they stole my cd key (don't worry i have more) and they somehow corrupt my registry files for ArmA 2 OA and im not able to make new strings, edit the KEY so i can change the cd key or do anything and its really annoying, iv'e reinstalled the game and tried deleting the registry file for the game so i could get fresh reg files, but its not letting me and keeps showing an error: Cannot edit: error writing new value contents. does anyone know how to fix this any feed back would be appreciated. EDIT: i can modify/delete the registry files for normal ArmA 2 and other files in the registry. P.S: the hacker some how changed they KEY to a regisrtry_SZ instead of the defult registry_Binary Edited January 22, 2013 by woop123 found more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonygrunt 10 Posted January 22, 2013 Did you run a hack for ArmA 2 that stole your key and "played" with the permissions of the registry keys? Because this hack might still be there,monitoring and preventing your changes. I doubt someone managed to access your registry without you running an executable.

Well i let my friend use my computer while i was out and when i came back he said something about trying to hack and screwing something up i think he might have run a hack,i started my computer in safe mode and i still can't edit my ArmA 2 OA reg files. If you know anyway to fix this please let me know. Edited January 22, 2013 by woop123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Reinstall the program. If your registry is corrupt, try using ccleaner's registry cleaning tool. Closing. Edited January 23, 2013 by Max Power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
