2142 & Punkbuster issue

[Dynomutt]

Hi Guys, yet another issue with 2142 and Vista 64, I have had this game working fine on Vista 64 before but recently I have been unable to play this game at all as I keep getting kicked by punkbuster after about 15 - 20 seconds, I am not getting packet loss error, things i have tried in an attempt to resolve so far are as follows

reinstalled game and all patches,
tired disabling firewall,
updated punkbuster,
run game as Admin
ensured both punkbuster services are operating is services.msc
googled the problem, found other that have had this issue and gave up as no resolution has been found.

but still i'm unable to play, any further suggestions or anyone ever resolved this issue before let me know as this is brecoming extremley irritating

gonna try changing my router tonight to see if that helps will post back with results


cheers Guys

I dont suppose you are running anyDVD or alcohol 120 or a similar tool?
Regardless of whether the Disk is legit, i got kicked constantly after about 15 seconds with anyDVD installed.

Hey guys,

Try updating Punkbuster manually using PBSetup from here: PunkBuster Online Countermeasures

Try asking here too, dont forget they can modify the game just to fix a issue for your computer...EA Forums: Battlefield 2142

don't know if this is your issue, but i'm getting kicked a lot with this error 'punkbuster ignoring queries (9006)' manually updating punkbuster hasn't worked for me

You could always try reinstalling the game and the 2142 patch to see if that helps...

try right clicking on the game and click "run as administrator".

try right clicking on the game and click "run as administrator".

correct - all PB enabled games I have tried will only work if you run the game by elevating to administrator
