Hey I've finally got this to work on my system. 1. Remove and reinstall X-fi software afresh from retail CD. 2. Set to Game mode. 3. Log onto creative support and install the software autoupdater. 4. Let it search and find that an update is available. 5. Download 6. Install 7. Reboot It now works fine. I've tried unistalling the x-fi software and installing the update manually several times before but that didn't work for me but when the autoupdater did it itself it now works fine. Stupid I know but it works now. Didnt have to mess with the filtering settings etc. as they're all set to app. controlled on my machine.

Can anybody help with a problem I have. When I start the game app it returns "ArmA has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc. etc. Apparantly its a clash with my creative x-fi card according to the microsoft error reporting. If I uninstall the x-fi software it will work ok but I not happy at doing this just for a rogue game. I've patched the game to the latest spec. and all graphics / mobo drivers / bios is all bang on. The machine works flawlessly on everything bar this game. Machine spec. AMD X2 4200+ @ 2x2.75ghz DFI Ultra-D 2gb OCZ Platinum DDR500 HIS X1900XT X-FI xtreme music Logitech Z5500 THX

Got the same problem mate - installed and get the same microsoft message. According to my machine its a clash with the creative x-fi software. I can get the game to work but it means uninstalling the x-fi software with 3 way mode switcher etc. Bottom line is I think is pathetic and I want my money back. It's in the bin.

Actually.....it is'nt. I've tried all 3 modes and theres no difference. It encounters a problem and has to be shut down etc. I've not had any problems with any other games or apps.

yep - all latest. Tried all of the usul things but only way to make it work is to uninstall x-fi software (not the x-fi drivers just the associated software). That means losing the 3 way mode switcher and various other things which i'm not going to do. cheers.
