Ok it works now, after 2 weeks. I've added another clean windows xp installation at another partition (dual boot). Installed all latest drivers and installed ArmA. It's not the best solution but I can play now Tnx all

Did it all....doesn't work

Doesn't work for me

Hmmm....I guess we can't play then. I've done everything with no luck

No success with me

In reply to fubarno1 Thank you for correcting me. I did miss it. Kind Regard walker Oops just deleted that map. Hmmm I'll install the game again (8th time now. Well I've reinstalled and that map is not created (I think the demo left it there). I think it will be created when the game starts and it won't. :-(

Hi Walker, Got all the latest drivers. Tnx

I'm getting a bit frustrated now. I've searched the net for hours. I tried everything people said but this game won't launch. No checkboxes, arma.exe appears for a millisecond in the taskmanager and then disappears. It's like I've an anti arma tool running what kills arma.exe immediately.

Btw I've the retail version from 505 games.
