    SOLVED!

    XBOX 360 usb gamepad driver for Windows, installed a "Virtual Hid Device" in "Human Interface Devices", this caused direct input initialisation errors when the pad was not plugged into. Uninstalling the gamepad drivers did not seem to remove this from the device manager, I had to manually disable it, this allowed Arma to load... phew, 2 weeks after the game I can now have a go! :yay:

    OK, checked the reg key, it points to the correct location... thanks for the info though.

    Silly question but is their no way I can use my game key with the steam version, I have lots of Steam games and I have no problems with them... I would like to try a version that does not rely so much on a DVDROM DRM?

    Thanks Ed.

    Well I re-flashed my DVD drive firmware, no luck. The only thing left to try is Windows 7. I am unwilling to loose my XP just yet, so I am looking into installing a dual boot.

    One thing I have noticed is that the "Play" button does not become active with the CD Autorun menu, even after an install... does this indicate a securom error?

    Any other suggestions will be warmly welcomed in the meantime guys. :cool:

    run the game in windowed mode, add -window to your arma2 shortcut. Also try this:

    You can limit your ram in "Run, msconfig - go to boot, advance options and limit it to 2-3 gb of ram and reboot.

    No luck, does not even get as far as to set the graphic mode. Very disappointed I was a big Flashpoint fan.

    I am getting this as well, all updates installed, DX, Drivers, patches... all firewall, anti-virus etc... disabled... 8 out of 10 tick boxes, pause then nothing.

    I have dual GTS SLI, I disabled one of the cards to make sure it wasn't anything... gonna give this another couple of days then the game is going back to the shop... :(
