    I've got a serious problem with Armed Assault: everytime I try to go online the NTDLL.DLL file causes a freeze after a few minutes or when I try to leave the MP lobby. I can't even close Arma from the Task Manager but have to do restart the whole computer.

    I can find no info on this problem, no one's seen it before and it only happens with this one program. In single player Arma is dead stable. I'm stumped. I'm posting my Arma.rpt and specs below, any help would be hot!

    (Btw I've also tried different versions of Arma, various compatibility modes and clean installs. I'm using no mods.)

    Specs: Windows Vista 32bit Home with SP1. Dual core T7300 (DDR2), 2gig RAM. GPU is 8600M GT using 169.09. HD is Seagate 160GB @ 7200rpm. Realtek soundcard.


    Thanks!

    ArmaA is still a very buggy game, even with the latest patch. Try updating to the latest version via the ArmaA patches. And hope that it solves your problem. I had a different issue and the latest patch didn't resolve it. Another patch is coming in a month or two though, and that would resolve my "Vista 64-bit with 4GB RAM" issue. Also try googling your error or search in the official ArmaA forum (find via google). Also try posting this there for the best help. There's ought to be others with the issue, since, as I said before, it's a very problematic game!
