Punkbuster kicks?

[Soda08]

Punkbuster keeps kicking me. Over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over.

And over. And over.

I've tried everything. First thing I did was update PB, then I tried connecting with a clean install of ET, then I tried restarting my computer... Nothing helps. It keeps kicking me for lack of packet flow, or PB init failure, or ignoring queries.

Something else interesting about when I play ET is whenever I open my console after connecting to the server, it just spams endlessly
Punkbuster Client: O/S Exception Notice.
It just constantly keeps spamming it. I don't know why.

I run windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, I have a M15x alienware laptop, 2GB of RAM, An Intel Core2 Duo CPU, and a GeForce 8600M GT video card. Not sure if any of these specs will help, but you never know...

PLEASE help me. I love to play on our server, but if I can't get this to work I'm going to throw my laptop against the wall.

Thanks in advance!

Do you gave ET and PB admin rights?
Is ET rinning in a compatibility mode?
If not, do it.

I'm not entirely sure I understand correctly. Are you asking me if I'm running ET and PB as an administrator? If so, I'm running ET as an admin, but I didn't know I had to give PB admin rights too. Also, should it be in compatibility mode? If it isn't, could that be the problem?

[Soda08]

Just for future reference:

What fixed my problem was giving pnkbstrA.exe and pnkbstrB.exe admin rights and affinities (just like ET.exe). Also, I am unable to see the pnkbstr.exes until I run the task manager as an administrator (show processes from all users).

Another interesting tidbit; Lot less PB lag when you give it admin rights and affinities! ^^ Which is always nice.

Hopefully this will help somebody down the road.

Best wishes,
