I apologize for posting in the troubleshooting area about this issue, I hope I've found the right place to address this problem as I've spent countless hours of clicking around threads looking to solve my problem.
I have read through the "Bad serial number given at setup" sticky's and have not found a solution. That is why I am asking for further help
I asked about help regarding editing the registry in REGEDIT. I'll provide some more information below,
I Can play ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead, and the beta patch.
I Can play on the Zargabad Life server and Dominion servers.
I CANNOT play ARMA 2, because I have to Run the game once before proceeding to install DayZ
I CANNOT play Takistan Life: Revolution server, because I get the
'You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.caweapons_ammoboxes" message
I Have a legit/purchased copy of Arma 2: Combined Operations from Steam
I Have version 1.62
I Have ran Steam as administrator, installed games separately through as administrator, reinstalled, and verified integrity of local game cache.
I have not messed with the registry keys, that is why I am asking for further information on this thread,

I Have Windows 7 and I followed the instructions in the link above, but in the instructions I become confused where he says "user" not "users". Please see screenshot I have attatched, which "Group" or "username" do I pick?

I will provide further screenshots if you need me to.
I hope my question has more clarity in it now. I'd appreciate the help because this is frustrating!
