[0957] Md5 Tools Mismatch

I keep getting kicked by punkbuster for this. Looked around and found various threads, but haven't found any real fix. I've tried everything short of reinstalling BF2 so far. Sometimes I can go through entire games without it, and sometimes it happens right after my first death.
Also, not sure if it's related, but I have that flashing black spot texture problem on every map.

Update punkbuster?
Also, is this in the wrong thread?

I've updated before, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
You're right though; wrong forum subsection. Not sure if I can delete this so could a mod close? I'll move it there, sorry.

Md5 mismatches normally mean that your files dont match up with the server's.
A file might have been corrupted, I would try reinstalling BF2 and PR.

possible solutions, do so in this order, try each stage and see if it works, mine worked at stage 3:
1. Download
THIS
2. Clear your BF2 cache
2. Update Punkbuster manually
3. Re-install/repair BF2
4. If all else fails re-install PR
5. If that fails... well i dunno wtf you did

I have this same error, but I am guessing you changed some file. I changed my init.con file. Punkbuster actually says in the error that the init.con file is the reason for the kick, therefore I needed to either change it back to the original or get it again.
Its a small file that was for the intro movies, my game doesnt crash anymore after revert or do i get kicked by pb.

hmmm MD5 seems a bit random, i appear to get kicked randomly some days for it, and then not for a while and then again sometimes. i don't know why.
