Crowe 0 Posted July 12, 2010 Dear bis, i own 2 licences of arma 2 oa and now i am facing driver problems. I cannot start Arrowhead because my Operating system does no longer detect my DVD drive. I have bought a Sprocket version of arma 2, which i used to copy the server files to the dedicated server machine of my clan. Can this version be deactivated and re-activated on my local pc? Or can i even unlock this version with a 'normal' key from the german version? Thanks in advance Regards Crowe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seelix 10 Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Could it be possible you installed something like NERO burning program? I had that prob 2 days ago,and my system was not able to find my dvd drive anymore. solution was this here : In your registry you have to delete two entries. Open REGEDIT and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} There you have to delete the upper and lower filters ! (2 entries) Reboot your machine and watch the magic. Hope it helps. It helped me. ;p Edited July 14, 2010 by seelix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosh 0 Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I think you can do that Crowe. I saw a post by Placebo a few days ago about something similar. I'll link to the post if I find it. EDIT - Maybe I'm crazy... I didn't find the post I thought I saw. But in the past I have used my Sprocket (US) Arma key on a German DVD of the original Arma. I'm pretty sure your CD-key will work on any version, just might limit what language options you have. (I know you're asking about OA, but I doubt anything has changed).

Crowe 0 Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) After i have uninstalled the DivX player my DVD drive is being detected again. But it would be very interesting if you can play the sprocket with a 'normal' key from a box ;) Edited July 15, 2010 by Crowe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
