Alright, I uninstalled Dtools and deleted the registry keys accompanying it. However, I am still receiving the error. I do not have any other emulator programs such as Alcohol installed, so I'm still very confused. :/ Thanks for your time, -Sid

Listen guys, this is seriously bumming me out. I've been a huge, slobbering fan of OFP, and when I heard that ArmA was coming out, I flipped! Awesome! It may have took it's sweet time, but it's worth it. ...Well, not that I would know. :/ See, the demo totally snuck up on me, I had no idea it was out, or that the game was nearing completion. (I've been tracking it on and off on GameSpot for the longest time). The feature I was most looking forward was JOIN IN PROGRESS! OH GOD, YES! So anyways, I have a problem: I try to start up the demo, and WHAM! Right-in-the-kisser. Semi-truck to the FACE. ...It doesn't start... Here's my problem: I get a Securom (boo) error that says, and I quote: "A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (6000). Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=6000 for further, more detailed information." Now, I checked out that link, and I have no programs that are trying to "hook" Securom, and I certainly do not have any viruses or spyware. So, what do I do guys? :/ This is seriously like, shattering my hopes and dreams and stuff. Thanks for your time, -Sid

Hello, For the past 3 days, I have been trying to get Operation Flashpoint to work properly. First of all, I have read through the Troubleshooting FAQ, Avon Lady's FAQ (Avon, you ROCK!), and I have browsed through the Troubleshooting forum section. When I came across Avon Lady's awesome site, I tried every step she had. First, I ran a Scandisk. - Nothing. Then, I deleted everything inside my Windows/TEMP folder. After that, I cleaned up a lot of junk and useless software on my Computer, and I also deleted all OFP-related contents. AFTER that, I did a Disk defrag. The Original Operation Flashpoint (European Edition) installs perfectly. (I tried installing it to both the default directory, and a new one). Now, here's when odd things occur. Sometimes (Yes, sometimes), when installing the Red Hammer Gold upgrade, I get a RANGE of different errors that happen to me. This includes "File Copy Error (CRC does not match) Data.pbo. And "Data.pbo" isn't the only file that gets an error. Sometimes it's "O.pbo" and others, too. But I atleast get one error when installing the upgrade. (If any - sometimes it installs). When I do get it to install properly (Once), I go an install the Expansion pack, "Resistance". I get errors (CRC) during it's installation, too. But there was a time when both installed correctly. (The first time), and when I tried to Upgrade from 1.75 to 1.91, it had CRC errors, as well. So I BEG to you, PLEASE help me find the solution to my desperate problem - for I want to play OFP once again! Thanks for your time, -Sid

This may sound strange (well, comming from me - not really), but I still haven't installed OFP. What I have been doing, as a matter of fact, is installing OTHER games. But theres a method to my madness: I installed older and newer games and guess what? When installing the recently-purchased copy of Battlefield: Vietnam I encountered CRC errors! How did I fix them, you say? I just kep trying to install it (I was also saying while it was installing, "It's not going to work! Ha! Look! Not working! Not working at all! Look who's not working! See? Not Working! It'll get to 99% and not work!" and low and behold BF:V installed... So, call me crazy, but I'm going to do the same thing to OFP and hope it works.

I'm still doing some major tinkering about with the machine - THEN I'm going to install OFP (with all the suggestions applied) - one last time. But I'm still getting "Prepared" - I want this to me my last, complete try. Wish me luck... once again.

Call me a complete numbskull, but how do I do this? And Placebo - this may sound extremely odd - but... I cannot seem to find my PCI Latency settings. (I went into my BIOS setup when the Computer restarted..). Thanks, Sid

Sorry for the delay - but once again I'm caught up in life. I'm about to try and get OFP to install now (using the many helpful hints and advice from you kind folks), and Placebo - I'll try and get that BIOS info to you soon. Ack! Gotta go. -Sid

Awesome! Thanks so much for all of your advice. I'll give it a go. -Sid

Yes, I have the latest version of the ASPI Layer. The thing that was off in my BIOS was something like "Compatable with ASPI 2.0" and it was Disbled. I enabled it. Still, OFP would not run. For the past couple days, thats the only way I would install OFP - by copying it onto my Hard drive first, then running it. (It copies to my hard drive okay, but it doesn't install). I have a firewall and virus software - and I always turnt hem off when I install something. Thanks for the advice. -Sid

I tried installing it again - I don't know why... and the install for the Gold Upgrade stopped at "VoiceRH.pbo" and I got a CRC error and it quit... The Original OFP installs PERFECTLY... Anyways, it's been over a week, and every single day I've tried to get OFP to work... I am determined to get it to work! ...But I cannot seem to get any further. Here are my specs (all together): 2.80GHZ Intel Pentium 4 (With Hyperthreading) 1024MB DDR Dual Channel Ram. (Two 512MB sticks) NTFS Dual RAID 228Gig Hard drive Radeon 9800 128MB DirectX 9.0b Sounblaster! Audigy 2 ASUS Motherboard +All the latest drivers for everything. +Defragged Hard drive (No Viruses, AdWare, or spyware found) +Scandisked (No errors found) Well, seeya for now. -Sid

I'm getting errors whien installing, AND patching. And Placebo, I cannot take out my Hard Drive and put it into my old computer, simply because my old computer is non existant anymore.

What a slap in the face.

YES! WHOO! YEEHAW! Alright.. lemme calm down... whew... Okay, first things first: I managed to get an update for my BIOS, then, I went into my BIOS settings and tampered with some of the ASPI layer options (Some were shut off). I also got some drivers for other Misc. parts of my computer. I haven't installed OFP yet, but I'm going to try... wish me luck. -Sid

Well, thanks for the help anyways, guys... I guess OFP just hates me. But it worked on my old computer; why not my new one? I just wish I could play it again... I'll keep trying - maybe I'll get lucky one of these days and it'll install... Heh. Thanks for your time, -Sid

No.. no luck. I got as far as installing the Gold Upgrade when I encountered "VoiceRH.pbo" I deleted everything involving Operation Flashpoint in my Registy prior to reinstalling it. However, ASUS, my Motherboard manufacterer; it's update program keeps freezing, saying that it's missing files int he registry or something along those lines. (But it's not - I haven't touched the ASUS thing in my registry). Anybody having problems with Operation Flashpoint and have the same motherboard as me? (ASUS P4C800-E Delux (AI Series)

Hey! Good idea - I'll try the other CD drive! I'll also check my Registry and I'll see about my ASPI again. Oh, and my CD is in mint condition. Thanks, -Sid

Sorry for the lack of Reply; a lot of stuff has been going on over here... Anyways, I tried installing Resistance the way you advised me, and it worked! But when I tried to install the patch (1.75 - 1.91) I got a CRC error. So I deleted all of Operation Flashpoint and decided to try again. But this time, Resistance didn't install at all. I got the error: "Res\ADDONS\noe.pbo (00000000!=00000001)" And when I tried installing the patch, I got the following error: "Error found in Res\Campaigns\resistance.pbo (1996a085!=bedcf8e6)" Thanks for your support, -Sid

Operation Flashpoint: The Second Comming?

No, I haven't. I didn't even think of it! Thanks, Placebo, I'll go try it out and see if it works.

NOOO! ARG. I really thought I had it this time. Call me crazy, but this is what I did: I loaded up OFP CDROM, then restarted. One my Computer booted up, I disabled the Internet, and killed all my Virus Scanners and my Firewall. I then proceeded to install OFP to the default Directory, and it installed perfectly. After that, I loaded up my RedHammer CD, then rebooted. (I did the same steps as above). RedHammer installed perfectly. Then, I put in the Resistance CD and rebooted. (I did the same steps as above, aswell). The download got 100% finished, but I got a CRC Error on Data.pbo. (It was the very last block, too!!) I checked to make sure that Resistance was installing to the right place, too. DRAT! -Sid

Alright - I think I may have.. done something. I'm not exactly sure how to work all these utillities properly (MemTest, ForceASPI, etc.) but, I clicked somewhere within my ForceASPI folder (I think it was INSTALASPI.bat) - and low and behold, it installed version 4.10 (I think). Now, I'm going to try and install Operation Flashpoint. (If it makes any difference, here's the order I install it: OFP, RedHammer, Resistance, Update 1.91, Beta Update 1.96). So far, I haven't got past Update 1.91. (And yes, I choose the 1.91 link under "Resistance"). Thanks for your time, -Sid

I have an ASUS P4C800-E Delux (AI Series) - and I'm pretty sure it's fully updated... I remember having a hassle trying to update my BIOS, - but in the end (If I remember correctly), I got it sorted out. And yes, I do have two sticks of Ram. How might I acsess it's clock speed settings? Oh, and I'll let that Memtest run a bit longer this time, heh. Thanks for your time, -Sid

Hmm.. I tried that Memory test thing, and theres nothing wrong. Ugh! Whats happening to my computer?!

Your complete system specs would help Yes - I knew I forgot something. 2.8GHZ Intel Pentium 4, with Hyperthreading 1024mb of DDR Ram Radeon 9800 128mb (Overclocked, slightly) Windows XP (Fully Updated) Soundblaster Audigy 2

And when it comes to realistic weapons and vehicles and stuff? The havoc engine seems to FPS (not framrate) to me, it would be worse than BF 1942 Â Ouch. Well - upcomming titles (Such as HL2) - have very convincing Physics, using Havok.
