Do you have a steam overlay on?? The disallowed program/driver 80252 is a graphical overlay plugin that is not allowed, I believe.

Well I googled Disallowed Program/Driver [80252] and it says there is some sort of program that is causing problems. If you find that program, you will fix the problem.

I was originally thinking of Driver [125067] which is the overlay one.

Do you have any scripting programs like AutoHotKey running? AutoIt?

Ok, i know how to fix this problem. I had it yesterday and after looking for solutions on steam and other places, i found the problem.
Go on to Steam.
Click on the top left corner on the "Steam" tab.
Click on settings.
Now click on the in-game tab in the settings window.
Uncheck "Enable Steam Community In-Game".
Fixed.

since the kickmessage is not very specific it could take a while finding the causing problem. probably u need a worklist of overlays, community programms, movie capture programms, special mouse/keyboard drivers, all to be disabled.
also check your bf2 directory for not related programs being installed there accidently.

From all of these you mentioned PB only kicks for Steam overlay sometimes, not always, and most certainly for TS3 overlay. With this one it will kick you very quickly as its not compatible with it at all and most likely never will be. I'm running mumble overlay and I never had any issue, and I dont know anyone who did. You said you dont have Steam, so it must be TS3 overlay?
If none of those check for any OSD overlays or servers. This can be installed by many manufacturer specific addon programs for monitoring GPU speed and temperature, and overclocking ( one that I know is not compatible with PB is EVGA Precision - program itself is fine, but it has OSD server, which if activated will be detected by PB and you will be kicked for disallowed program/driver ). Riva Tuner has OSD server which is also incompatible. Etc..
