Hello everybody
I haven't played ArmA for a while and now it refuses to start(I wonder if it's angry at me). When I click the game's icon the small hourglass appears for a second or two, and then nothing... I've tried updating my video and sound drivers, reinstalling the game, tried with the various patches but nothing seems to solve the problem
System:
Intel Dual Core 6400
2Gb RAM
GeForce 7900Gs
Original Disk
Any help will be appreciated, thanks

I've got exactly the same problem, and it's getting me really angry. I was able to solve the problem in a way that forum rules probably don't allow me to speak about in here, but currently that only works for ver1.05. I have the same issue with another game protected by SecuROM (Silent Hunter 4) but apparently trying the same trick will result in some intentional game bugs. I was going to send a logfile to securom, but your report disencouraged me. I thought it was 505, BI or Securom who should be working hard to solve this problem, not the cracker community (note that my problem isn't a simple bug. I simply can't even start the whole game). Isn't it ironic? By so zealously enforcing antipiracy measures, game companies and copy protection systems are turning us into pirate software users (at least those who don't find it fair buying a game for 60$ and not being able to play it at all
)
I have a good slogan:
SecuROM: Secures you from playing your own games
