Technical Problems

Last night my computer was attacked by several viruses so I took the easy way out and reinstalled my OS drive, leaving my Game/Music drive untouched. Reinstallation went fine, ran updates, blah blah blah.

I go to reinstall Six Launcher and DayZ Commander which went fine. However, DayZ Commander didn't have my game paths already set like it did the first time I installed, which is no biggie. I set the paths in the settings tab for each appropriate game, and then I tried joining a game. I get an error message saying that I can't join a game because the system cannot find the specified file. I thought maybe my Arma2 Revision was wrong so I update that, however it doesn't allow the installation to go through because it gives me an error message "BAD CD-KEY" which is odd because I bought authentic and valid copies of Arma2 and OA through Steam. It let me patch up to 1.7.2.4. (dont want .5 yet) no problem, but it won't let me update the revision or join a game because it says my paths aren't correct even though they are, unless I wasn't deep enough into the path.

I.E. D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ for example.

Anyone got any ideas on what to do?
