What issues does it have running under Vista?. I wasn't aware it had any?.

I think its really this that is causing me the problems (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/..._Windows_with_4GB_RAM.2C_black_loading_screen)
yet i have still not managed to get it working, but any help would be greatly appreciated
.Im running Vista 64 with 4GB of memory. I have never had it working on this computer yet, and itching to play it again.
I wish I could be more help here although I can confirm that I've had no issues getting it to run on Vista 64 with 4gb ram. Hopefully you get it working as I've been recently getting quite into the coop. There are still so many bugs but it's been a good laugh all the same. Can't wait for the second one and can only hope it's a bit more solid at release.
Just got it working now! 
I went into MSCONFIG and limited my ram to 3072mb instead of 4096.
Now runs great!
Dj Switch, we can get a game of coop arranged at some point if you are up for it, hopefully there are other fellow OCUK members still playing this...

Glad to hear you got it working, Pyroboy.
I'm getting tempted to reinstall ARMA. The first time I played it was on an older, previous PC system that didn't quite cut the mustard as far as spec goes and I had a fair bit of slowdown and visual glitches with it. But the system I have now is light years ahead of that one and I quite fancy playing it again.
Can anyone tell me if the modding community is still as active?. Particularly when it comes to good user designed SP missions?.

Hah Snap!
I built my new system around last November i think, and before that i was playing Arma on a system that could only "just" play it, and it was very slow at times. However this new system plays the game with the settings at max.
Should get it re-installed im having great fun playing in a few servers, would be good to get some of us together for some coop/online play.

Can somebody help me in to changing my ram to get arma working. Spec in sig. Have looked on msconfig but cant seem to fathom it. :S
To turn my Memory down i went into MSCONFIG > Boot > Advanced Options > Tick Maximum Memory Box > type 3072
That got mine working along with Vista

I think I'm decided, going to reinstall the damn thing. 
I never played ARMA online last time around, didn't have the time to get involved in co-op. Last time I played anything related to OFP was exactly that - the original OFP online.
Tell me, as I've not looked at anything ARMA related since it first came out, is there a "sequence" I need to follow regarding the reinstall of the game when it comes to patching it up to the latest version?.

Excellent!
The patches confused me a little bit, as there seems to be different sequences for different versions. I have the Gold Edition and i just installed a 1.08 to 1.14 patch and it worked fine.

Cool.
Remind me, once the game is installed is there a "Check for updates" button in the game menus or anything like that?.
The ARMA I have here is the original boxed version from when it was first released.

I have just launched the game now and i cant see an option that lets you check for updates.
Just looking at the Arma download page (http://www.armedassault.com/downloads.html) but im struggling to understand what increments you need to go up in.
Soldato
No worries m8, thanks for looking, appreciate it.
I'll install it and have a trawl online to find out what the patch paths are.

Depends on your version but i had no trouble working it out yesterday, for the original boxed version goto 1.05>1.08>1.14. Reinstalled it yesterday and spent the entire day playing with a mate on an Evolution mod server, for the life of me I cannot remember why I ever uninstalled it, had a blast playing it again though.
