You are not alone, a lot of people are having troubles with this and there are workarounds

Wayne.

How I fixed it was running 2142 in Admin mode. Rightclick the icon, properties, then security, there you would have to add yourself to full admin.

you wont be kicked from PB anymore after that. the fault your getting is probably "insuffient OS privaledges" ??

What is the punkbuster message you are recieving? AFAIK, there should be a message outlining the problem when you are kicked.

i get kicked from the game back to the server list and a window comes up with punkbuster at the top and you press ok to get rid of it.
