Vista - vista 64 and punkbuster

punkbuster A and B doesnt seem to be getting the inherent permission needed to run its checks succesfully.
im constantly being blocked by pb . ive checked both pb A and pb B in syswow64 and although i can set full permisions . i cant seem to set inherent permission .
is there a way to force vista to give these files "full inherent permision" ?

things i have tried and not worked just to save u time posted.

-contacted evenbalance. (they say its vista not allowing inherent permision.)
-reinstalled everything, bf2 ,patch , pbsetup exe ,
-updated pb
-uninstalled via pbvsc and reinstalled in the same way.
-i have no firewalls, uac is off, and ive checked both pb A and pb B they are NOT being blocked.
-checked packet flow via pingplotter. its fine. very good connection.

basically i want vista to allow pb to run effectively without being blocked by vista.

Try calling microsoft and asking them about the problem. They usually will know how to fix something like that.

May or may not help but have a look in,

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\PunkBuster

and see if that folder is there as well as a folder for any PB enabled games.

yeh its there. the problem is ,vista wont allow me to set "exlusive" permisions to these files.
i need to have these files running as admin. the only way to do that is to save it as shortcut . but i cant do that obviously .
is there a way to run everything as admin . what i mean is , i thought i was signed in as admin ? so why do some progs run in user mode instead of admin? is there a way for me to have all files running as admin?

What if any error message are you getting when you try to run BF2? Seen enough reports the past couple of years regarding PB and Vista, so if you can provide that it would help.

They would. Pardon me while I . One of these days those clowns will stop blaming everything else on their shoddy programming, seeing as if it was a "Vista problem" then a lot more people would be screaming across the internet.
