yeah I was looking for the spoiler tag, couldn't find it. Cheers mate, the idea to do a Steam verify local cache seems to have worked - it detected one unverified file which it replaced, don't know which one other than it was 816 bytes long.

Yes driver out of date - updated but no change. No .mdmp/bidmp files in RPT directory. I have never done anything to Dr Watson so I have no idea if it's on or off or what HIPS is. I have no mods installed, certainly none by me, just installed arma2, OA and british armed forces from steam deal a few days ago. Cleared down arma2,rpt file and reran windowed=0, same result. Much shorter .rpt now, hope this sheds light: ===================================================================== == C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2\arma2.exe == "C:\Program

Here is arma2.rpt: https://app.box.com/s/60xs1g4gpgyqcy5p1a8u and dxdiag: https://app.box.com/s/1l2virjzs4g3pumyy7hm

Update: if I start the game in windowed mode by editing the .cfg file, it starts in a small window that goes full screen on alt+enter. I can then alt-enter again at the main menu to go back to small window and hit exit which then closes the program OK. This is a nuisance and i would like to know what's going on and what to do about it.

Every time I quit the game from the main menu my PC freezes on a grey screen and I am unable to kill the arma 2 application (ctr-alt-del etc doesn't work, cannot get to task manager). I've seen a couple of threads about this but no suggestions found there work. I'm on win7 64 with a radion 7850 card if that's any help. What can I do about this?
