Rom1944

go to control panel-->system then click on hardware tab and then select "administrador de dispositivos" sorry i dont know the english term its must be something with manager on, then you check your dvd reader model and the you google "your dvd model name firmware update" and then you searc until you find the firmware. hope its help you.

Well i fixed it by lurking deep in the forums the problem its the dvd firmware you have to update it to the latest version and then its works like a charm thanks for the help, i think this should be put in a sticky for all the people that have the same problem.

ohh i dint know that well maybe if i dont get a solution from the securerom people i will do it but i have to tell you that installing all my games and apps again seems a dauting task to do for only one game even if it is Arma 2

same problem here and i tried the registry wipe but nothing it doesnt work, and i cant reinstall windows because i havemay games bougth with steam and i not planning on downloading all again, well at least securerom support its answering my emails and its trying to get a solution if i get one from them i will share it with you.

well i hope i dont have to reinstall windows XP , thanks for the replies im waiting for an answer of securerom people if i dont get any then i will email bis like you said i really want to play this game.

well i tried erasing all the reference to arma and installing it again and nothing happens i still cant run the game i sent an analysis file to securerom and they said that they have to ask te developers for a solution i hope there is one because i cant return the game to the store i bougth it from.

only the uninstall log its left.

EDcase the problem is that the same happens without the patch i tried to unisntall it and reisntall it again but it says "missing string" and then it lets the folder with just one file, i tried to manually erase the folder like its says in the readme with no luck at all i even installed the direct X that fixed a demo trouble and nothing the game doesnt seems to run its very frustrating that i cannot enjoy the game i have been a fan since operation flashpoint and i really want to enjoy this new game but it imposible for me.

i got the same problem does someone knows how to fix it i spent money in the game and i cannot play it.

The same happens to me with and without the patch i cant run the game and i tried uninstalling with no luck.

Hi to everyone i have the spanish version of the game but it wont run at all everytime i execute the game i wont start i have unistalled it and installed again but nothing works. if anyone can help it will be appreciated.
