Installing DayZ on Arma 2 free launch target command HELP

I just recently got this game for my girlfriend, she wanted to try. She purchased the operation arrowhead off steam and downloaded the arma 2 free. We did this because I was reading a tutorial and it said you can get DayZ to work with the free version of arma 2 and legit version of OA. I got it all set up except now when I launch the game I get the error "error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine" I googled the error and and found lots but nothing that could help me. Im pretty sure it has to do with my target launch path I have set for my Arma OA. This is what I got written...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" -mod=Arma2;EXPANSION;CA -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ -nosplash"

Does anyone see any errors in it? Or does anyone else play DayZ the same way and can share with me how they got it running. Im pretty sure tho if I can just sort through this command it would run fine.
