Ok, i don't know what happened but this morning i started my pc up and tried to play it, it then started to do what my problem was before, not starting so i tried the "Run As... and then hit admin typed in my password and it still didn't work, so i don't know.

yes i clicked run as administrator thank you SO much for all you're time help and effort (every one here Gunter Severloh, ChrisB and @ST) and a HUGE -FACEPALM- to me! :)

ok i am running Xp 32 bit CPU - Core 2 Due 3.00 Ghz (E8400) Graphics card - ATI Radeon HD 5670 1024 MB RAM - 2GB and my computer is running as admin by default i will double check on that though ---------- Post added at 10:04 ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 ---------- and i can't take out the last " in my target line - C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" or it will say " the name "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure both path and file name are correct" ---------- Post added at 10:05 ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 ---------- i will take a screenshot now for you of my folders all of my folders inside of them as well! ---------- Post added at 10:11 ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 ---------- ok it seems to be working currently EXTREME HAPPY FACE all i did was click run as... and then clicked my user name and hit ok and it launched it is at version 1.62.95248

i have done that 6 times now ---------- Post added at 22:35 ---------- Previous post was at 22:34 ---------- and re-formatted my computer for it

i think i know what the problem is, since i only have half the folders i should have it will probably be a faulty disk if i don't have everything that i should

thank you so much for you're efforts Chris
