Great stuff, get ready for a really steep learning curve and then an immensely rewarding and unparalleled experience. If you get throught the first hour or so, you'll love it.

I'm sure Toby will be a long any second offering a boot camp

(can you tell I love it? - which version did you get?)

[Sithvid]

both! arma 2 and arma 2 arrowhead 3 hours d/load left

[BrotherTobious]

And like magic I appear.  Great news mate unfountantly I am on a mission and won't be around but jump on tonight.  The admins and others will see you right.  

Might be around on Tuesday of you fancy a boot camp let me know.

Much as it's tempting, try not to remap any of the keys, it's much easier to talk you through it if we have the default key setup

[Sithvid]

ill touch nothing, and bootcamp sounds great

[Blunt]

That's great Sithy:yahoo:

I didn't bother with the in-game boot camp in ArmaII because it's not very good,
 but the one in OA is much better.
Bro Toby's Boot Camp will be the thing you'll need, although it's fine to jump on any time and ask questions as you go along.
I look forward to yomping across miles of map with you (to die immediately we get there:narnar:)

cant get this to run cs and other games work fine is there a bug in the patch?
Windows MEssage ArmA 2 OA has stopped working

[BrotherTobious]

Arma 2 should be patched to 1.07 and OA is above 1.52 not to sure.  Jump on TS and ask mate some will be able to help

I will not be around on Tuesday sorry mate.  So I will see if I can get another day to do it this week.  If you dont mind I might have one or 2 other people wanting a run through it to.

It should take more than 30 mins max dependant on questions and setups.

all suggestions welcome.

[DrSteam]

there's this you could fill out too. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=102991 . Also some games don't work for me if I have firefox or ie running, and as we have the same system give it a try.

You're an administrator on your PC, right? Drivers up to date?

Have you tried downloading the full DirectX installer, and re-installing it?

Here's a suggestion I found on the Steam forums, which forces the game to skip DirectX installation:

To fix this problem and permanently skip the DirectX installer, using regedit navigate to HKLM\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\10180 and add a new DWORD value named DirectX and valued 1.

I'm on holiday at the mo so I can't test it myself, but it might sort you out.

I have tried installing Direct X installer 3 times and get an error messageso this could be a start of finding the root of the problem..

Direct X Set up:

A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted.
Please verify the cryptographic services are enabled and the cabinet file certificate is valid.
Ive reinstalled getting further new error message
x3daudio1 6 dll arma2 ??
safe site to d/load ?

aahh hidden files from a corrupt dxupdate 2 years ago.. sorted now

[DrSteam]

Well the cryptographic services can be found in control panel> Administrative tools> services. Make sure their enabled. If not click on start up type, select automatic then reboot. Then try reinstalling Direct X
