Game freezes up on startup

[-R2.5-Hendrix 10]

Hi all,

Basically i was running arma2 fine up until a few weeks ago, when all of a sudden it refused to start. Basically after i click the icon, it freezes my entire system.

I have done the following:

-restored my system

-updated windows

-updates Arma2

-reinstalled arma2

-cried

-complained

-set arma2 to run as admin

-had my brother fiddle with arma2

-lost hope

someone please help, I dont need to post my specs, as its irrelevant cos the game was running beautifully before, i am running vista 32bit however.

Please help lads.

If you look at event manager (it's a build in vista system management app) do you see any details of errors that occured at the date/time your system froze when you started arma 2? Might help.

try to update your directx files, check your motherboard website for driver updates, check your graphic card for driver update, sound card updates, any update because you wiped your system clean.
