If you have followed all of the steps suggested here and are still having a problem getting Combined Ops to work ask your self this.
"Did I install DayZ manually"
If you did and you copied the Arma2\addons files to your @dayz\addons folder you need to delete everything EXCEPT the DayZ files.
I was having a hell of a time getting it to work until I realized this. If the Arma2\Addons files are in the @DayZ\Addons folder it will run with the OA interface no matter what you try.
Once I removed every other file from the @DayZ\Addons folder except the DayZ mod files it worked with CO just fine.
