what have you tried 

 

what versions of the game are you running if you are on steam 

 

do this 

 

close steam

start steam in admin (right click and run as administrator) 

right click on arma2 and properties then local files 

click on verify integrity of game cache <-- do it twice 

 

and do the same for arma2 oa and any dlc you own 

 

run arma2 to the menu 

and do the same for arma2 oa and any dlc you own 

 

reinstall the beta patch and dayz
