You need to give more details. Saying 'help me fix my problem' without giving any information is silly.

1. Post a screenshot of the kick message

2. What servers is it happening on

3. Do you do anything specific in game when you are kicked

4. Do you have any sort of AV software running

I have AVG software running

Shouldn't be anything to do with graphics settings as far as i know in my limited knowledge

All servers means that it's probably something to do with your files being modified or such

And i use AVG and mine works fine, so its most likely not that.

In my humble opinion (and my first attempt at troubleshooting for the community) - I'd diagnose that you have either some how modified the files in PR or in BF2, or the files you have downloaded and installed have corrupted.

My solution - uninstall and re-install again, and if that doesn't work, uninstall, delete everything to do with PR and download and install again.

And if that doesn't work, well i don't actually know.

Can someone verify my diagnosis please, just so i know i'm not talking balls...

This is not a PR bug, moved to correct section.

There are several threads regarding Punkbuster issues in this 'PR:BF2 Support' section, I hope you find the answer you're looking for.
