| Hi guys.
I've been working on this problem for a few weeks or so. The problem came out of no where. Worked perfectly for (reinstalled game) months and all of a sudden, I get that error.
PB is up to date. Checked under "services.msc" and both of the PnkBstr exe's are running, both on automatic, and on start up. A few minutes in to a game, I get kicked for the above mentioned PB error. I contacted PB support and I'm getting no where!!
Help!!! | |

| Hey Tango,
Try manually updating punkbuster using pbsetup from the link below:

and see if it helps. Usually updating PB helps with its issues. | |

| That's what I've been told to do and it still doesn't work.
I also have the pbsvc which can uninstall and test the services. Everything tests ok but, the PnkBstrB.exe quits some time during game play. Before entering a game, I check the services.msc tab to make sure everything is running as it should be. Everything checks out ok! All systems go!! | |

| If you are using antivirus, did you exclude the BF2 directory and PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe in \windows\system32 ? What windows version are you using ? Did you delete the PB folder inside \Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\ before manually updating the punkbuster ?

No AV installed but, both exe's are on the firewall exception list. Windows XP 32-bit Yes. I would delete the PB folder, uninstall PB, reinstall, test services, make sure within the windows services.msc that both PnkBstr A & B exe's are running on startup and auto. Check for PnkBstr exe's running under the task manager services tab. Perform manual PB update. Fire up BF2 and get kicked within 2 minutes! This has been going on for a month or so out of the blue! | |

| I just re-installed when this happened the first week of playing. I haven't had any more trouble. The only issue I have is "kicking for lost key packets" ... | |
