Ok, either the new the techie that just put my new HD's in and upgraded to Win7 made a boo-boo or my DVD burner is toast.... Loaded the game onto a 32gb flash and installed the game from there, worked like a charm problem fixed.

Aaarrgh!... this is really frustrating. Learning to hate windows 7 real quick. Installed another program, Company of Heroes worked fine (won't patch for online play mind you). Still won't load Arma2. Tried copying the files off the DVD to a flash now it quits at chernarus_data_layers.pbo... 4Gb into the file transfer..... and that's as far as it gets. Everything else transfers no problem but when it comes to the addons *PooF*.

Tried removing one stick of ram already, didn't work then either. The drive is working installed MS office right before trying Arma so it shouldn't be the drive. Have also tried shutting down Norton 360 & from loading from safe mode, separately & at the same time. **should have mentioned that I've returned one disc already and have the exact same issue with the 2nd so it's not the media either** roads.bpo is the first hang, don't know if it will be the last at this point.

Roads.pbo - having the same issue here, hangs on install everytime it reaches this file. All the drivers have been checked and as far as we know everything is up to date.....
