System Crash

[cybermask 0]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has any ideas with a problem i am having?

The "ArmaENG.exe" causes my system to crash when i double click the EXE file, Windows Explorer freezes up first then the whole XP system freezes up, as a result, i have to power down using the power button.

I have run a checksum and the numbers match, the people at ArmA have sent me here, cause they don't have a clue about my problem.

I have updated all drivers that need to be updated.

My system is:

>

> XP home (SP 2) (Updated)

> Nvidia 7600 GS 256MB (Updated)

> Microstar MS 6579 (Motherboard)

> 1Gig RAM

> DirectX 9.c

Confused
