Are you using Vista?


Right click the 2142 icon and choose run as administrator.

Make sure PB B and PB A are running too. Press Ctl + Alt + Del to view processes.

I hear everyone talking about this, my friend gets the same message.

i have been surfing a couple of forums and everyone says "try updating your Punkbuster manually"

and they link this: http://bf2.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2707

you could try doing that. if it does not work just search on google, and look up some forums.

Oh yay, thanks for the OH SO insightful post... (did you look at the date of the post, let alone farther down, the postings, that he seemed to have gotten it fixed?)

in the link you put in (even OLDER than this thread is, to say the least), the link they show, no longer works for that app, so its worthless... all you get on the page for the PBWeb stuff is this "PBWEB has been discontinued. Please visit our PBSetup page." (already knew all of this before hand, as for those of us running Joint Operations, along with BF2, we have to do the same damn things)
with another hotlink to go to...

which is...

http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
WHICH IS WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED!!!

Jesus Christ, I wish people would read these fricken threads before posting there damn comments, to see if its already been posted, resolved, and the Date of the poster in question

especially, the last comments, if it doesn't work, search google or look up some forums... NO SHIT? You don't say... damn if you hadn't said that I don't think anyone would of figured it out... (how the hell do you think some of them got here in the first place )

like I said... thanks for the OH SO insightful post...


sorry but it just really irks me when I see some of these more useless postings on forums I'm on... if it had been helpful beyond what was already posted in some way, I wouldn't be typing this...
