Happened to me several times as well. Things that helped me are:

- Do NOT start Arma II in steam (DayZ won't work so no point in starting it via steam)

- Do NOT star Arma II in windowed mode

- Using Six to start Arma.

- If using Six: Run Six as administrator

- Only using Six Launcher and not Six Updater

- (Alternative to Six) Start Arma using DayZ Commander

still don't know what causes this error (everything was updated to newsest version of course, beta and dayz)

I had that error too when I first installed the game so don't panic. I just Googled the error and followed the advice.

i think i got this error near the end of my frustration on first install. i think it had to do with the beta. launch the arma2oa.exe from the actual beta folder and specify the actual Operation Arrowhead as the startup folder. do not start up in the beta folder.

to be honest, i find the launchers which are available (six launcher, etc) to be less complicated to use than trying to set the desktop icon up to do it myself.
