Eryx

Your computer is running Vista but it's still showing the XP login, that's remarkable..

Anyway:
Try updating your PunkBuster by using PBSetup: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

'If' you are running Vista you might want to make sure you run everything in administrator mode.

It can be set to look like xp as tweibie said make sure you are install and run as admin
good luck

you running it as admin ?

i aint an admin im just a standard player lol...i want to know how to access that lil box that says add game i never had to do it on my last computer

With 'admin' we mean that you need to run programs as an administrator on your own computer.

Regarding PB updates:
- Download PBSetup: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
- Extract it and run pbsetup.exe
- Click 'I Agree'
- Click 'Add Game'
- Select Battlefield 2 and verify the path is correct and click 'Add Game'
- Click on 'Check for updates'
- Let it download/install the necessary updates.

Current PB versions:
Client version: v2.212 | A1392
Server version: v1.758 | A1392 | C2.212

Well...as for processors i aint a clue lol...ive done that on the Windows section of that evenbalance website ive done all the updates for it etc but it still kicks me of for the same reason.....

?


I'm not sure what you mean, confirm you did the steps I listed above?

Haha, your English is confusing everyone.

Running as administrator rightclick the BF2 icon.
- Go to properties
- Go to Compatibility
- Look for Privillege Level at the bottom
- Check the box that says Run this program as administrator

ok...Wilson...your idea worked mate but for a little while it seems to work 1 minute then kick me of the next lol

Now you are going to have to update your Punkbuster like they said.

Click this link:
http://www.evenbalance.com/
- Go to Battlefield 2
- Go to Software Updates: Download
- Where it says NOTICE click the link PBSetup
- Scroll down and look for a table and select your Operating System and click the corresponding one
- Put the code in and save the file
- Open the application then click Add a Game and look for BF2


That should do it, I made it as detailed as possible.

thing is mate its vista so what do i use windows ? i dont know if its different lol also ive done what u just said but it jumps from working to not...odd

Yeah man, select Windows. It's Windows Vista so you know for next time. :] If it doesn't work from there it might be that your AntiVirus/Malware or Firewall is blocking Punkbuster. So you may want to check to see if you have Battlefield 2 set to Allow.

it says on the freebalance thing its malware that is the problem thing is i opened up the malware on this computer and it wont allow anything due to it needing to be renewed n registered i went to ignore list which is what i should be on right (its Malwarebytes Anti Malware for anyone who wants to know my type of Malware) however it wont allow me to select anything to ignore basically... ARGH

hey mate whats the kick message your getting?

if your using an old version of fraps that can cause you to get kicked aswell
