So I install the full Catalyst 7.1 package, and then only install the 7.2 DRIVERS, not the rest, not the 7.2 control panel etc,? BI: Â BTW, using X1800GTO here.

That's not true. I deinstalled Catalyst 7.2 after reading your post. Then I installed Catalyst 7.1. I'm using Windows Vista x32 here. And I still have the error, after approx. 5 minutes of play. I also added the game to the DEP list of Windows, this also doesnt help. I still have to try the '-maxmem=512' option. BI! COME UP WITH A QUICKFIX PLEASE!

Check the Mapfact / Marco Polo CH-47D, its just released for ArmA.

Dont forget the Ka-52. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0919970/L/

WHAT did you do?

I have the same problem. Installed latest DirectX and ATi Catalyst 7.2 drivers. I'm using Windows Vista x32 Business, and an ATi Radeon X1800GTO card. ArmA worked perfectly fine (v1.04), I installed the patch without problems and when I started the game I immediately got this error. Then, I removed the config settings from the My Documents/ArmA folder and now I come a bit further in the game, I get a black screen (after getting all the V's in the boxes as a loading indicator) for a very short time (it looks like its actually starting ArmA), and then it returns to the desktop with this Error compiling vertex shader pool. My version is the 505 Games version. System: AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ 1.5GB DDR400 X1800GTO Nvidia NForce4 Ultra chipset   Â
