how to fix pb

Have you tried completely uninstalling and then reinstalling PunkBuster? Be sure to follow these instructions EXACTLY. People in the past have skipped parts and have failed to fix their problem.

1. Make sure that you either disable your firewall (probably not a good idea) or allow PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe access to do things (McAfee has been known to automatically add these services to the block list).
2. Download pbsvc.exe, which is a utility to uninstall and reinstall PunkBuster.
3. Open pbsvc.exe and select Un-Install/Remove PunkBuster Service.
4. Open pbsvc.exe again and this time select Install/Re-Install PunkBuster Service.
5. After installing, it will test your services. Make sure you get a "Test completed successfully without error." message. If not, then copy and paste the results of the test here.
6. Now download PBSETUP, which is a utility to update PunkBuster to the latest version. For Windows: pbsetup.exe
7. Open pbsetup.exe. It will probably have to check for updates, allow it to do that.
8. Click the "Add a Game" button at the top.
9. Select your game (in this case Battlefield 2142) and make sure that the directory is correct.
10. Click the "Check for Updates" button at the top.

Heres how you fix it for good and it ill ALWAYS work if the above doesn't:

open notepad and type the following lines exactly as I have written:

con_restricted = 0
pb_security = 0


Save as 'autoexec.cfg' (no quotes) in the folder program files>electronic arts>crytek>crysis wars>game
This will fix it for good

i can attach my copy of the document i u want.

hahah clerks fix is better and simpler

Dont listen to Jarhead because his brains are in his ass and isnt smart enough to understand what delta has wrote.
Well done delta its good to see you talking the time to help people having problems unlike Jarhead who just causes
problems

One thing though is in the last 3 steps :
8. Click the "Add a Game" button at the top.
9. Select your game and make sure that the directory is correct.
10. Click the "Check for Updates" button at the top.

You MUST point pbsetup to the my games / crysis wars folder because thats where punkbuster updates to. Not to the
actual game install folder.

Cheers
