recently it worked with win7 ultimate, now it won't work with win7 professional.

Try to run it in XP compatibility mode. Make sure you have DX9 and OAL installed. And run it as administrator like said above.

Last time I tried it, it was working this way (Win7 Pro x64). But that has been a while.

It's ArmA: Armed Assault with which I have problems, not ArmA II

Thanks for the tips Wolle, but the game won't start even with these settings. I'm curious if it can be connected to newer ATI Catalyst drivers, or if it's just because of DirectX 9. Supposedly I have the latest directx9c right now ('10 june release)

opps, sorry, didnt notice it was armed assault...

i wasnt aware that anyone liking armed assault not yet had converted to Arma2 :)
