Ok I did that also, but it still does not work. I can't thank you guys enough for the help I'm just doing something wrong.

There's something wrong with your ArmA installation at all, the mod folder setup is ok now.

You have installed ArmA in program files\arma\arma\

but your shortcut says c:\program files\atari\arma\arma.exe

Below that arma folder there is an Atari folder, check if arma is there too (for whatever reason) and if yes set up the mod folder again (move it) into the Atari folder.

Yeah I just noticed that my self and the weird thing is I got two folders quite similar, but a bit different, one is called ARMA and the other is called Atari i moved both folders to my desktop. The Atari folder has a sub folder with the ARMA folder in it.?

Of course, program files\arma is the folder with the installation files. program files\atari\arma is where your game is installed at. Now with your @units folder there it must work.

Like I said before thanks Wolle but it just does not want to work i cant see the units in my editor and the only thing that i see that works is the no splash effect.

Alright, we get it to work. Might just take a little longer...

Edit your shortcut to ArmA and change the line 'Start in' from c:\users\aaron\desktop\atari\arma to
c:\program files\atari\arma\ and try again. Also make sure you have the addon folder with the pbo's in your @units mod folder (might be the case, but just to be 100% sure).

Or even better: create a new shortcut on your desktop, locate the arma.exe in your ..\atari\arma folder and user that one for the test. the parameters should be like this:

Target: c:\program files\atari\arma\arma.exe -nosplash -mod=@units
Start in: c:\program files\atari\arma\
The rest leave as it is.

Do I have to place my atari folder back into my program files folder before i do these changes?

Erm.... your atari folder never should have left the program files folder :)

You have msn or skype by chance? That might be faster than chatting in a forum

k
for modfolder method i only use it for mods but if you just want normal download units get winrar and pick the 1 that comes out and drop it into the addons folder for the units that will auto extract ok if you dont know what i mean there is a few vids on how to use winrar just do it the same way but use the addons not mods and just drop the new thing into the addons folder for arma or arma 2 for more info watch for videos in youtube

Worst ideas ever.

A) WinRar is commercial software with nagware popups if you don't buy it (which no one does I imagine), get 7Zip from http://www.7zip.org which handles rar files as well as zip, and 7z files you'll see around a lot.

B) NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER put anything in your default AddOns folder. Never. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. You can sleep with your sister, but you shouldn't. Same with mods. Learn to use mod folders and that way you won't break things because you were lazy and thought your sister would do in a pinch.

^ Agreed, on both points, although in regard to the incest references I'll have to defer -as I have no direct experience with it- to the regional IT expert .

Manually make a campaign folder in your game directory, it will work the same way.

And welcome to Armaholic

Oh yeah and the Missions and MPMissions folders kinda work as well. It picked up CO16 Joe and the Volcano but it doesnt pick up my undead mod missions. You know, the ones that come with the mod.
