Beats? Gaming headsets? Noh. Beats are terrible for listening to anything.

First off, let me explain the whole situation. I'm currently living off a capped internet, so I cannot (re)download any games at my own house, instead I take my laptop to my girlfriend's house and download everything there. I think copy over my SteamApps folder from my laptop to my PC so I can play my downloaded games on my PC, obviously. Both Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2 did this flawlessly, with no trouble at all. (These are the only two games I have done this so far with.) However, when it comes to doing it with ArmA II and ArmA: OA, I get the bad serial number given in setup error. This happens not just with Operation Arrowhead but with ArmA II. I haven't been able to play the game at all since this error has been blocking me from doing so, so I have come to you for help. I have searched all over the internet, and they all seem to be solutions for Operation Arrowhead, not ArmA II. I have tried to verify both games, but the progress bar just gets stuck at 0% - no progress is made whatsoever, and I've waited a while for it to do so. EDIT: I also run Steam as admin. If someone could explain to me the REGEDIT fix in english I could try that, everywhere I've looked it's not made sense to me. If anyone needs anything else please ask, I'm desperate to get this fixed.

Forgot to say that, I have run Steam as admin and tried this, no results.

Just look for motherboard and CPU bundles, they're a lot more helpful to find what CPU is compatible with which motherboards, if you're new to PC hardware. Anyway, you'd better post there, otherwise Orlok will be very mad :(

Hm... It's kinda bad, it might just do it... It won't be pretty though, I suggest you upgrade it to be honest. You say you're upgrading your GPU and RAM, what's your budget?

Agreed, probably next gen.

You're right, that does sound weird. Don't worry, I have thoughts like this too xD

It's my name. I'm bad at thinking of usernames. :(

I just hope that it's released when it's really ready. Don't want another CoD - Schedules ruin games, man.
