Are you still going to help me?.........

That is the right version as best I can tell. My only other advice to you is to re-install arma 2 and make sure its on same version number. The files it is telling you to delete are from arma 2 not OA it seems you may have corrupted .pbo files. Friend had similar issue but was steam he deleted the files and verified cache and was fixed. If this does not fix your issue I have no clue what the problem is as all your versions are correct and you are launching it properly. Sadly this may be an issue you have to take up with BIS the devs for arma 2 and OA. Sorry if you still can't get it running but this is the limit of my knowledge on the issues you are having. below is a copy paste of the contents of working .cmd file ensure you have your paths correct but remember they are not the same as mine.

All the stuff above the run: line tells the game where to look for the files for arma 2 and OA when you launch the game. It simply asks the registry if there is a key and then what is in the key (which is the path to arma 2 and to OA) it is possible, but I doubt it, that it cannot find arma 2. You did launch both before trying to launch as CO right? If not the registry entries are not there.

step by step

install arma 2 OA

install arma 2 OA patch 1.60

run arma 2 OA

install arma 2 OA beta 93825

run arma 2 OA beta

run arma 2 CO with the _runa2co_beta.cmd file

do in that order skip nothing and it should work

if you do not have the .cmd files for whatever reason they can be found here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?101214-ARMA-2-CO-(how-to-combine-ARMA-2-into-ARMA-2-OA-and-use-together) you only need the _runa2co_beta.zip

I am having the exact same problem, Kaioh6. Retail combined operations, everything installed correctly, beta 98325, etc. Nothing works for me.

[Kaioh6 0]

So I should reinstall arma2? Cause I did that atleast 3 times....and rach time I need to reinstall, I have to redownload it cause I bought the downloadable from Gamestop.

---

And that takes 5hours in all installing arma2 and OA. Sorry but could you help me 5 hours after? I have work.....

---

I may be able to use my phone inorder to keep replying. But you need me at the computer right?

[dooks 1]

Now that I have looked I nor my buddies have any of the _e.pbo files it is telling you to delete try deleting them and see what happens.

[Kaioh6 0]

Yeah I tried deleting the files, but when i joined a server, the same message came out but with different files. But when I went back to delete those new files that was listed when kicked from the server, I noticed it was in the same folder as the ones I deleted before. So I tried removing the whole folder, assuming the whole folder was needed to be delete, but nothing different happenes....

[dooks 1]

[dooks 1]

[Kaioh6 0]

[dooks 1]

No I did a complete reinstall(which takes atleast 5 hours tops) about 4 times.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Here are a few things to try.

turn off/close skype. Any overlay (such as teamspeak , mumble, or afterburner) should be turned off. Turn off any program that can affect your game in any way (fraps, afterburner, trixx, precision). If it still wont work try reinstalling direct x. If still no go try turning off antivirus. Still no go try a fresh windows install. Other then that and I can be of no more help.

best of luck
