OK i changed the file put stuff down to 1024x768. Unfortunatley it does the same thing as when its high res... thinking i might just return the game... :(

Just bought Arma II OAH. I have updated with the latest patch for the game to 1.57 As soon as I start the game it goes through the company logos and then flashes up the game menu but then goes black then flicks back with a red screen and then goes blank and plays the menu music. I alt tab out of it and then find the graphic driver have crashed and recovered. I can then only quit the game using task manager. I have tried some of the different beta drivers from Nvidia, also tried some of the compatibility settings to improve performance from different posts. Tried running in XP compatibility mode and also as an admin. Nothing has worked, still the same problem with a couple of blue screen of deaths thrown in. Its a shame really cant even get to the menu... As far as I am aware I meet the required specs... Any ideas? Thanks.

Here's what happens in video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M_cST_GdqQ I have tried to reduce the resolution etc, changed the hrz to 60 etc... But each time the game starts it loads up in max res and I cant get to the graphics options in time to change the setting before it crashes...

Everything works fine on all my other games...

I patched to 1.57 myself. Bought the retail version. I haven't been able to find the report file you mentioned, I searched in the arma directory and then did a computer wide search... This is what it says in the Event viewer error log: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
