its windows vista 32 bit. nd take your time. i just really appreciate the help ---------- Post added at 18:56 ---------- Previous post was at 18:12 ---------- http://pastebin.com/gFmh1zV1 ---------- Post added at 18:59 ---------- Previous post was at 18:56 ---------- i am also installing service pack 2 right now to see if that works

do i need any updates from Arma 2??

Alternatively I could pack you the .dll and upload it for you, but if you're not experienced with computers, or Windows I think it's no good idea to let you go deep inside the Windows system folders. I have no idea what this means but im willing to give it a shot haha. Can anything catastrophic happen?

im still getting the same error message. It says the application has failed to start because X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. ---------- Post added at 20:59 ---------- Previous post was at 19:34 ---------- Would purchasing the game make any difference or would it result in the same problem plus me being out $60 as well?

do i need to reinstall or restart? i am new to this which probably doesnt help

I have tried every suggestion i found. i installed directx9 redlist restarted my computer reinstalled arma 2 but i still have not been able to start it. and i still get the x3d audio 1_6 d11 message. please help me. i really want to play this game
