Violation 9001

[Louis8990]

For some reason I keep getting kicked from all games that have punkbuster enabled. I have the patches I need but I still can't play for more than a minute. Anyone know why this is happening?

(when you hit ` the little box at the top comes up and I hit that during games by accident so I type some random letters in like( to move and run.... wdawW,) and I hit enter, I'm figuring that might be the problem but I'm not sure.)

Make sure that the PnkBstrA service is running.

Make sure that the PnkBstrA service is running.

I'd be helpful if I knew where and what that is!

PnkBstrA service is the PunkBuster service running on your machine. If you're running winXP pro Just right click on my computer and select manage, Then click "Services and Applications" and click services. Scroll down until you find PnkBstrA and make sure that it is "started". If not xp pro then you can usually find it under Control panel -> administrative tools -> services and then check as above. I had a problem where PB wasn't starting so I had to completely remove it and do a manual install and manually start the PnkBstrA service...

Well lets see. I have vista not win xp

[Savage_Hobo]

hm...... You can probably still find it in the control panel.. but it will be better if you switch your control panel to "classic view" (if it isn't already)... and look for administrative tools, I can't remember if it is also included in the cntrl-alt-del menu... so try there as well.

It not u mate it just that punkbuster is updating for the new patch I had it this afternoon.

[Louis8990]

Thanks, all i needed to do was refresh PnkBstrA.

[Louis8990]

Ya, i made the post about having vista before I finished reading.

[Savage_Hobo]
