Major Problem

[Meatball0311 79]

I will try and explain this the best way I can...

I purchased ARMA II from Direct2Drive and it placed itself in Downloads/ArmA2_ddmf.

I downloaded it and it has worked fine for several months now. Yesterday I had attempted to use USMC Icons by extracting the 'characters.pbo'. In the extracted folder named 'characters' I proceeded to open the 'i_sleader_ca.paa' in Textview 2 and then replaced the icon with a USMC icon and saved it. I did the same process for the other icons. I then used BinPBO to make the folder named 'characters' into a PBO file. When I placed it into the proper place and started the game, it gives me an error at game launch that something is wrong with the file. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game many times and the same error occurs. I have even did a system restore and the same problem occurs. However the game launches properly when I go to Downloads/ArmA2_ddmf and launch the game from there. I have even tried to copy the 'characters.pbo' from there and paste it in my program files/ArmA2/Addons folder, but the same error occurs!!!!

I know I f'ed up by screwing up the original 'characters.pbo'... any suggestions?
