Help me

I've been getting this (angry words here) error since I last formatted, I've tried everything, Turning off my firewall, Reinstalling PB, Updating PB (pbsetup and manual), going into my services and setting it to restart when it stops (Always over rides back to default) but nothing works. Any ideas.

ps: If all you have is "reinstall bf2/pr and if that doesnt work reformat" then dont bother posting cause that's not gonna happen.

Install PunkBuster as a system service. If it's already installed, then run the diagnostics from the installer.

run PR as administrator? That worked for me...

No, Still nothing. Just have the issue of the Services resetting.

After getting Kicked


Yes I have admin Privileges on my account

Have you tried to run services test from pbsvc.exe?

You bet, I've had this issue since xp so i'm formatting..

I had the same problem when I first got Win 7 from an XP format but I just went through these steps.... PunkBuster Online Countermeasures
Where it says click here click there then install etc...

Is that Different from the PBSVC that has been letting me down for the past month? (Also I deleted bf2 already out of being pissed)

yeah,i got this heartbeat problem also.
i have avast virus program and also adaware program.
i take them off when im playing,problem is gone.

Hell, that PBSVC is 100kb larger than the one I had, Guess I'll reinstall bf2 again tomorrow and try it, if it doesnt work well I guess I'll be reinstalling windows.

Any news fuzz?

He thinks he fixed it, I told him to run the service exe's(located in C://Windows/System32) as admin and he hasn't been kicked and his gameplay is smooth.

Well, once again pb screws me over. BF2 worked (Karkand! Yay....?) for about 10 minutes. Install PR and it cuts me back down to square one. So since i've reinstalled windows 7 already and since windows 7 seems to be the issue, I will probably go back to XP. (not really happy about it but w.e...)

Fix one issue causes 5 more...

Punkbuster kicked player "[TMP] FuzzySquirrel" (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Corrupted File/Memory [124003]

Well when on Virginia and got kicked for Heartbeats stopped, so since pr is getting boring I'll just take a break I guess.

Hang in there mate
