[matt6950 11]

Hi,

I've read all over the internet looking for a fix. I have run as administrator, restarted my computer, re-installed x 100, verified cache

I have tried to delete my arma 2 oa regedit. But it wont let me

I hav edone this too:

, Run REGEDIT

2, Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

3, Expand Software

4, Expand Wow6432Node

5, Expand Bohemia Interactive Studio Not Bohemia Interactive

6, Click ArmA 2 OA, If you only see 1 file named "(Default)" And type REG_SZ then,

7, Right click the ArmA 2 OA file and go to Permissions

8, Left click YOUR USER, NOT! Users

9, After selecting your user click on Advanced

10, Yet Again click on your username for your pc and click on edit

11, In the drop down menu select This Key and Subkeys

12, You will see allow and deny make sure all allow boxes are ticked then click ok

13, you will be taken back one Dialogue box, Click Apply and OK and the same again on the

next dialogue box.

14, Now you should see 4 files sat in your ArmA 2 OA folder, Names, "(Default)" "Data" "Key" & "main"

I still get this error: "Cannot delete ArmA 2 OA: Error whle deleting key.

my key type is REG_SZ. I ran a patch from some website, that I now know to be a CD Key stealer.

I am out of ideas I need help.

my key type is REG_SZ. I ran a patch from some website, that I now know to be a CD Key stealer.

I'm afraid your key has most likely been taken and sold to a hacker by now.

Scan your computer for malware and delete all traces of that specific patch you downloaded.

Edit: What website did you download it from? This specific error you're getting has been known to randomly pop up, and sometimes has nothing to do with your key being stolen.

erm...... might have been youtube..

I know it was a cd key stealer due to the fact, I have a program (safe) that can detect if it's a cd key stealer or not, should have ran it 1st but did'nt. stupid mistake I know.

I thought so. Like I said before, scan your computer for malware and delete all traces of whatever you downloaded.

Never download anything for DayZ from YouTube .. no matter how convincing it looks.

May I ask who the 'well respected' Youtuber was?

And what is the program that works as a "CD-key stealer detector?"
