ny help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Every time i click on the PR icon to load the game all i get is a blue screen. I can hear the sound but have no picture. I can play Arma 2 no problem but the same happens with the combined ops as well, however it will run in windowed mode. this is driving me nuts as im dying to get on and play the game. The computer used to belong to a friend of mine and it all run fine before.
All the graphics drivers are correct and fully up to date for my graphics card (nvidia 9800GT). At first i thought it was a graphics problem but after much cursing and swearing i reinstalled arma 2 and am now able to play it whereas i couldn't before as i got a blue screen. so i re-installed the operation arrowhead so i had the necessary combined ops to run PR. but still get a blue screen unless in windowed mode.

Could any one solve this one for me before i lose it completely and my computer meets mr sledge hammer

Its not a bsod so no mini dumps. i can hear the game in the background just no display. All the componants inc memory and hdd are all working fine
 
Since "everything" is fine... Replace the video card with something a bit newer and see if that solves your "everything's" fine problem
 
Problem solved :D Thank you for you help buddy.
I got a dvi to vga adapter and plugged my old monitor in and it worked fine no problems. My conclusion is that my 32in lcd tv hasnt got enough umph to play such a high powered game. Graphics card is fine, i knew that cause it worked before i had the computer and i tried it in another to rule it out.
