After reading the many post the only option I have left seems to be re format and got back to Windows XP 32bit with a fresh start. It is a really a painful desision. Have to install everything again and organize and re config all over again. The time it takes to install all my programs and drivers. I get a headache just thinking about it. Or should I wait and leave ArmA alone until a possible new patch some where in Vista, the graphic card or software come in and fixes the issue. But then I will be without playing ArmA for a while and that alone would kill me. If I go back to Windows XP it could very well fix issues that I may come across in the future with other software. but then again may be going back would hurt me for the future. Man I really wish I had another system with XP on it. I guess this are the desision a gamer needs to make. Im really undesided. but Im leaning more with ReFormating rather then wait it out. I think ArmA is worth it. What do you think?

The recent, ungoing, and overwhelming compatability issues that ArmA seems to have with it users and their systems. It is questionable why Bohemia would release it for sale with so many bugs and compatability issues.   ArmA should have been left in Beta. Now Im out some cash for a game that I can't even run. Is not that my system is not to specs because its is. ( of course is not the ferrari of Pc's but its a least it can hold its own).   Seriously I have to take some cool point for letting it go on shelf so early. It better to wait and have a great idea with quality coding and plenty of testing. Then to release it and find from your customer that it is FBAR.   ArmA is by far the best battlefield gaming software ( that I can see, not play ) to ever been developed. So there is no question that the the core of the team is the best out there. But the desision to release it who ever made that desision need to be fired because by his or hers actions you have ruin your standing with a least one customer Me.  An the next time Bohemia whips out another great gaming software I will wait because I know from experience that the first realese of there software is riddle with bugs.  Im sure that if im actually talking about this someone it the company must of gotten an earful about it already. Note: I am in no part involve with Bohemia or any of there employes. Im simply a PC gamer looking for the best.
