no...i bought three other games that week all 3 mount and blades, installed same way. They use keys, it just asked for the key again when i took it home. I installed everquest, several other games. Minecraft, like i said about 20. I know which pc i installed them on. Different games behave dif ways i guess. I figured it would just ask me to activate it like mount and blade and others have done and yes, i did install them to the usb drive without an os on it. If you want to say i installed them all at home and this is the first time i did this it's fine. I'm pretty sure i know where i was when i installed them. I understand what the person said above, i'll just play this crap later next weekend. I hate i didn't just copy the install files, was trying to save time. Thanks to the person who said reinstall is only fix. I appreciate the help.

i just install games to it. i have never had issues before. My work pc and home pc both have an os. I never installed or knew i had to install an os on it. ---------- Post added at 15:46 ---------- Previous post was at 15:44 ---------- it uses the os of the pc it is plugged into. ---------- Post added at 15:49 ---------- Previous post was at 15:46 ---------- have done this for years, got about 20 games on it. Just download and change install path from c: to whatever letter it assigns the usb drive.

I am hoping someone can help me. I got Arma 2 and Arma2OA on Amazon two Thursdays ago and I left it to download over the weekend at work. I am on dialup at home (21.4k to be exact). After I got back to work the following Monday I installed Arma2 and Arma2OA on my portable USB hard drive. I work extrememly long hours and did not have a chance to bring it home to test it out. I copied it over from my USB hard drive to my C:, placed a shortcut on the desktop, and got a bad key when I ran it. I can't find a way to reenter my key. I have it here with me. The install files are at work, which is over an hour away one way. I didn't have room on my usb hard drive for them. I keep most of my games on it so I can update them at work. How can I get Arma to work? If I can't do it before Monday, then it will be an entire week before I can get time to reinstall at my home. I do wish I had bought the CD, but I went with download instead. Is reinstalling my only option? Thanks for any help. Also I did try running from the USB drive just in case that was the issue.
