I don't have time to help you, but I would recommend watching YouTube videos so you can enjoy and learn DayZ at the same time.

Just don't doawnload anything from youtube videos. People trusting downloads from youtube videos promising undetected hacks and free loot, usually wake up and realize thier cd-key have been stolen and replaced with already banned keys.

Run Steam as Admin~

If that doesn't work, I had to uninstall reinstall. Fun fun!

Use dayz commander.

I personally failed to get dayz to work for me. I had to install Six Launcher and let that program fix everything for me. But right now Dayz Commander is better.

What you need to do is install Arma 2,then run the game as admin (as though you are going to play the game), once it comes up with the menu screen, just exit out of it, then do exactly the same thing with Operation Arrowhead, then load up dayz commander and install the mod.

If you are using Steam for Arma then simply verify the game files and the key issue should go away.
