We have tried all variations I know of fixing the problem, using pb setup, deleting the pb folder inside bf2 and reinstalling, using pbsvc to check and reinstall, taking the pnkbstrb from the pbsvc check and putting it inside app data.

The same issue still appears after all of it.

Check Punkbuster B is set to auto re-start.

on Services while PR is running. Select Punkbuster B, right click, select properties, select the

recovery tab and make sure they all say "Restart the service" for all three dropdowns. You can do

the same for PB A, but generally speaking, it's the B client that stops responding. Any time you

update PB, you may need to re-do this step.
W7 users = In services ( inside the 'log on' tab) check box which states ?Allow this service to interact with the desktop.

I aswell still have this problem too, I have followed all the instructions from the main Punkbuster solutions post in the forums and i have made sure that PnkbstrB.exe is set to restart service for all three. i have uninstalled PR and BF2, Reinstalled worked for 1 day, and same problem. i have deleted the PB folder in bf2 directory and ran PB installation and Updater. Problem still persists. when i get kicked i go check to see if the process for Pnkbstr B is running and its not there. I have also deleted all the PB registrys from sys32, rebooted and ran the installer again. No Luck.....Does anybody have any other Ideas? I have also tryed contacting PunkBuster themselves and they have told me the same things what to do without any improvement.

Also, Non of my Firewalls are blocking any punkbuster or BF2, PR

I should Also mention that this problem only occours on PR and not Vanilla.

You accidentally posted in the Arma 2 support section, I moved it to the BF2 one.
