Please learn to read the rest of the troubleshooting.

To your commandline add -winxp

This will allow you to use that 8gig RAM. It's a known problem.

how to do ?

[triangle 10]

Right click on your Arma2 shortcut and select 'Properties'. In the box 'Target' you will see the path to the executable eg. "F:\ARMA2\Bohemia Interactive\arma2.exe". Just type a single space and then -winxp after the closed quote - so, on my machine:

"F:\ARMA2\Bohemia Interactive\arma2.exe" -winxp

Snake:

MANY MANY of us have the same problem.

but also, this fix works, and for me, it works better than the -winxp command

Use nvidia drivers 181.71 (for Win 7 64bit) and then DONT use the -winxp command

I get much better framerates this way

(181.71 are the newest drivers that do not give me the flashing texture problem)
