BF 2142 Punkbuster Problem

I have Vista 32-bit, with BF 2142(v 1.4) and fully updated punkbuster. However, whenever I join a server I get kicked out with an empty bubble(titled Punkbuster). What is wrong?BF 2142 Punkbuster Problem
hmm, I believe this is a Vista Problem I'm not positive. Try doing this



right click on the desktop icon for BF2142 and goto Properties. Then, go to Compatibility and select Windows XP for Compatibility mode (make sure you check the box as well) and make the Privilege Level - Administrator. If that doesn't work respond back.. BF 2142 Punkbuster Problem
Doesn't work :/
get pbsetup from the punkbuster website and manually find the game's install folder and update punkbuster.

What is wrong?[/QUOTE]When you say you have a fully updated punkbuster, am I correct to assume you downloaded punkbuster and ran pbsetup? Often times the punkbuster that comes with games won't auto-update and you run into problems. BF2 in XP had this problem. The only way to fix it is to manually update punkbuster.
Try downloading PB manually and installing, if that still doesn't work, disable user account in vista..
PunkBuster doesn't like everyone. Seriously. It just hates everybody.
I manually updated Punkbuster(yes, fully), and already have UAC disabled. However it still doesn't work! I have version 1.4, but the version 1.5 patch won't install because the one I have installed is ''a newer version''.
Uninstall the game and then just do the 1.5 patch. That could be your issue.
Try this fix, it may work for you it may not.. give it a go...



Go to run and type regedit. and look for the following. My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2142\ergc



In this folder, you will find a file that you can edit. The file should contain a code that consists of a series of numbers and letters. All you do is open that code and insert ''x9392'' before it. If you accidentally delete the code, cancel. DO NOT SAVE. I do not know if this code is user specific, so if you delete the code and save, then you are effectively screwed.
I've already done that. I will reinstall game on my main drive.
I can't uninstall it, there is no uninstall thingy, only an icon!
Hmm, when I finally found out how(use CD uninstall), it prompted me to install BF 2142. Maybe thats why this hasn't been working(PC crashed shortly after last install). I'll report back later, and then use the Edit button.
Sure, what is your cd key? pm it to me and I may be able to fix it for youI'm kidding
