C:\Windows.old\Program Files....

^ Theres your problem. You did windows reinstall over existing windows, and your game is being launched from old install.

Do you have ARMA2 and ARMA2 OA listed in control panel add remove programs? ( Programs and features for Vista/Win7)

If not you will need to reinstall the game completely and use install manual to aid you.

If yes uninstall but there's a chance it will throw you and error, and reinstall again.

And you should remove Windows.old folder since its taking up space for nothing. If you have Windows and Windows.old folder its safe to remove Windows.old.

Jimj, you are correct in being concerned about deleting windows.old directory.
If you have ANY files that you need from the windows.old directory and subdirectories, make sure you recover that first. Common files that need recovery are your Firefox settings and profiles folders.

Jimj, you should CUT AND PASTE all of your addons in your Arma2 folder to a new temporary directory, such as c:\arma2backup or something like that.

Then, uninstall Arma2, and Arma2:OA from within Steam if possible. Make sure you keep the installation files though.
reboot.
Reinstall Arma2 and Arma2:OA from within Steam to your c:\program files\steam\... directory
Then copy your addons from c:\arma2backup back to the arma 2 operation arrowhead directory.
Boot up your addons manager of choice and update all of your addons so it will resync the addon database inside SixUpdater or whichever one you use.

If you don't understand any part of this, stop what you are doing and come back and ask for help.

Its does not matter in which folder game installed.

You have played vanilla Arma2? and Have successfully used your Addons to play other Arma2 online multiplayer mods?

Open Steam.
Go To Library.
Right Click on Arma2
Select Properties from the context menu
Select Verify Game Cache.

See what happens.

Also since it is STEAM, run a 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache' from within the properties of that game.
