We need more information than that to help you dude.

What exactly do you own? ARMA 2: Combined Operations or do you ARMA 2 Free and Operation Arrowhead?

What do you own them on ( STEAM / Disc )?

What error are you getting specifically ( Screenshot would be great )?

Did you do this:

1. Download Arma2 and Arma2: Operation Arrowhead.

2. Run Arma2 until you load into the main menu, then exit game.

3. Run Arma2: Operation Arrowhead until you load into the main menu, then exit game.

4. Run Arma2: Combined Operations ( Done by Right click Arma2: Operation Arrowhead and left clicking Launch Arma2: Combined Operations ) Load into the main menu, then exit.

5. Download DayZCommander and install it.

6. Run DayZCommander.

7. In the top right hand corner under the Minimise, Maximise and Close sign. There is 4 Tabs. Click the " Settings " Tab.

8. Tick the boxes that say " Launch using Steam " and " Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta so Steam works " It should look something like this. Click Done. If your Game Directories are blank. Try restarting your computer.

9. Click the " Install / Update " Tab.

10. Under where it says " ARMA 2: XxXxX " there should be a drop down box below that, make sure the one that says ( Latest ) by the side is selected and press the " Install " button. You will have to wait a while for it to download, and when it does, you get a installation box come up. Install as you would normally a patch.

11. Where it says " DAYZ: XxXxX " there should be a drop down box below that, make sure the one that says ( Latest ) by the side is selected and press the " Install " button. Once it's downloaded you will have a wait till it says " DAYZ: 1.7.2.6 (Up to date) " before doing anything else. It should look like this. Click Done.

12. Click the " Servers " tab on the left hand side and look for a server you fancy and double click one you like.

13. You should load into Player Screen where it says all of the names of the people in the server. Wait until you see " BattlEye Client: Server computing GUID: * insert lots of numbers and letters here * before pressing the OK button, as you will get kicked because of BattlEye not loading up properly.

14. After waiting through a loading bar and " Loading " in the middle of the screen, you will come across a gender selection screen. Click a gender. And wait.

15. You will load in game, take note of what it says in the bottom right of your screen, as that is your location and you can find out where to go and buildings to enter by looking at This Map

16. When you've loaded in you want to press the " ESC " key, go to Options -> Video Options and you want the " 3D resolution " to be the same as your " Interface Resolution "

17. Play

Bravo. You should be loaded into DayZ.

And to take a screenshot, it's F12. And when you come out of game, STEAM should bring up a box with the screenshots you took that session. Click upload and then once it's done, click view online gallery and click the screen shot, right click it, and click copy page URL and then link it in here.
