Punkbuster and vista

I have a problem with COD2 and Battle Field 2 when playing online. I login
to a server and when punk buster loads I get an error message and kick me
off the server. I tried the run as a administor but still no luck? Any
ideas

Re: Punkbuster and vista

Try running CoD2 under compatibility mode with XP, also make sure your pb is
up to date. www.evenbalance.com for pb updates.

Re: Punkbuster and vista

You need to run as administrator for it to work.

Re: Punkbuster and vista

That seems odd that BF2 isn't working right with the Run as administrator
option. That seems to have worked for everyone else. Is the error message,
Insufficient OS Privileges ?

One other thing you can try, is turning off the UAC for a bit, and see how
it works there. You can find that option under Control panel, User Accounts,
as noted in this pic
