Windows 7 64 ArmA II Crash

[zulurider 10]

I'm going nuts! I purchased ArmA2 a couple of days ago, and cannot get it to run on my system (specs below). I have updated the game to 1.05, but when I run the game I get the error:

“C:\Windows\system32\X3DAudio1_6.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an errorâ€

Can ayone help?? :eek:

Tried the Directx re-install - but I have Directx 11 - maybe the game does not support 11??

Did you try uninstalling your sound card drivers, wiping them with something like Driver Cleaner, and re-installing?

I'm running on Windows 7 64 no problem.

[zulurider 10]

No, but I will try that

Ok, tried uninstalling/reinstalling the sound drivers - no difference. I have embedded sound on an Intel MB - its called "High Definition Audio Devide" in device manager.

You could try going to C:\Windows\system32\ and deleting X3DAudio1_6.dll. After that, reboot, then run this.

Did that - same same. I renamed the X3DAudio_6.dll and even re-installed the Directx on the ARMA2 DVD - it put it's own X3DAudio_6.dll file back (filedate: 3/16/2009) and it still crashed.

Maybe I need another sound card?
