Well, that was a pretty dysfunctional attempt to fix your friends problem but here, I've got a solution that could possibly help you and anyone else that has this problem. I acquired this problem shortly after a server shutdown on me (midgame) and crashed my arma to desktop. I thought about multiple solutions but they all involve steam, so if any cd players get this, I can't help- sorry. Just start steam up with administrator and run both Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead.
Wait a few seconds on each one on the menu screen so I can properly fix itself. If this does not work, I suggest that you do a full verification of game integrity.
If those two fail, try a reinstall although it could just be a path error if you are starting via Play withsix or DayZ Commander.

Hope this helped and happy hunting.
