Hello, i need help, everytime i try and play on a BF2 online it comes up with this error, And this is t
with BF2

R aswell here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Punkbuster kicked player ' Denver364 '
(For 0 mintures )
Restriction: Disallowed Program/driver (125083)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think i know what it means, Everytime i start up steam it does that, like if i've restarted my computer and click on pr.exe it starts up steam because i've got BF2 on steam and then when i play it says that, so i think the Program/Driver is Steam i'm not that sure, But could anybody help me anyway, and this is a picture of what programs i'm running

Thanks

Note #2: This kick is usually caused by one of the following progams running. Disabling them should stop the kick.

Ventrilo Chat Overlay
Team Speak Overlay
DxTweaker
ATI Tray Tools (depends on version)
Game Accelerator (uninstall, then reboot)
Mumble Overlay
EVGA Precision tool

In case you run Steam, please do the following:

* Open Steam
* Go to File-Settings
* Go to the tab in-game
* Uncheck the "Enable Steam Community In-Game" checkbox
* Press OK
* Restart Steam

###

I unchecked the "Enable Steam Community In-Game" checkbox, restarted, and I'm allowed to play BF2 without getting kicking with that error message. I hope this helps you guys. And I take back my comments about Punkbuster, I'm just not used to having software disrupt my activity based upon the other software I have operating.
