Nope, Chuck Testa!

Similar problem as with your UrT. Punkbuster needs all rights to access ET-Files. If I remember correctly, you have to run ET/TC:E as an administrator ONCE. After that Punkbuster will be pleased. If it wasn't that, tell me, then I'll look up what it was exactly.

Edit: Oh, Splinx had this admin-stuff in his post, too. Embarassed

Get the answer from

http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php

Code:

Note #3: It looks like PnkBstrB is failing to start. Please make sure you allow the service files in security software like virus scanners and/or firewalls (even if you turn them off while playing). You will need to allow/unblock the services PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe from your "C:\Windows\system32\" folder (or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\"on 64bit systems). In case of doubt, manually add both to your firewall's allow list. After the installation process you will only find PnkBstrA, so just make sure this process file is not blocked. Then try playing on a PB enabled server, in case of a kick, check if PnkBstrB was created and unblock it too.

Please make sure that the PnkBstrA service is set to start automatically every time your computer starts. Go to: Start menu, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and change PnkBstrA to start Automatically.

If this is still not resolved, please do the following:

* Make sure you have rebooted/restarted your computer since having this issue.

* Download the latest version of PBSVC from:
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

* Disable your security software (virus scanners for example) temporarily (disconnect your computer from the internet if you feel this is unsafe).

* Make sure you don't play through a network share.

* Make sure you run the latest drivers, especially drivers for network adapters.

* Run PBSVC and press the "Test Services" button. This will test all components of the PunkBuster Services, including a trigger to start PnkBstrB.

* Check if PnkBstrB.exe is now available in the "C:\Windows\system32\" folder.

* Enable your security software again if closed and add PnkBstrB to the allow list (described above).

* Run the following tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Look2Me-Destroyer.shtml (not for Window Vista and higher)

* Run ComboFix to check for rootkits

* Make sure you do not run the game in a compatibility mode.

* Copy-paste the "Test Services" output from PBSVC in a new note if things are not working correctly and explain further what you have tried additionally.
