Frustrated and confused

DayZ Commander loads as it should, ArmA 2/ArmA 2 OA loads as it should, but when I try to enter a server on DayZ it tells me, "The system cannot find the file specified.". What the heck am I supposed to do here? My ArmA 2 CO files are all downloaded and they both work fine, is Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA supposed to be in separate folders? What do I do because I have run out of ideas.

Transfer your CD keys to steam, ArmA requires this since GameSpy's shutdown if you want to remain up to date.

Thank you guys so much, I had no idea you could add non-steam games to the library with a code. I'll get back to you guys when it finishes the download. =]
