You should give some details of your pc if your going to ask this sort of question. Like what OS your using (XP, Vista, Win 7 and if its 32 or 64 Bit).

Also the amount of memory you have installed.

I don't know the answer to your question but I recently downloaded "Game Booster" which gives me more memory to play the game. A quick google search of your error message lead me to http://gamingsa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10185 where I read:

Crashing FAQ, problems & tweaks

Random crashes to desktop with error message 'out of memory' (or similar)

* Try adding -maxmem=2047 to your ArmA II shortcut. This setting limits the amount of memory that ArmA II uses. Try gradually decreasing this value until your game is stable. Any setting above 2048 is ignored as Arma II is a 32-bit application (and is not large address enabled) so cannot use more than 2GB of ram.

* Try setting your pagefile to 6Gb, or setting to 'Allow windows to manage'. Pagefiles smaller than 2GB are not recommended.

I assume this is more for 64 Bit OS's with 4Gb or more is fitted.

It's most likely the in-game Video Memory settings are to high in the Options menu. How much memory does your card have? Lower the settings.

Hmm that is right on the limit. Try to lower it to High or Very High. I had this problem with A1 and A2 until someone told me to lower the VM settings and I never got that CTD again. Others have found this too work as well. Somewhere in the section is a few threads were it is discussed.
