Re: PnkBsrtB.exe problem
Assuming that your PB is already updated , If your running Vista or Win7 than run your PunkbusterB.exe as admin.
Re: PnkBsrtB.exe problem

Re: PnkBsrtB.exe problem
Also was this a fresh install of the game or just something that popped up randomly????

Download and run that program after installing PB from your disk, it will update your PB to the correct version.

So, when BF is not running, I can right click that PnkbstrB file and "run as admin". Nothing seems to happen. But what do I need to do to make the game run it as admin? Or am I not taking the right approach?
Both it and PnkbsterA and other files seem to be installed in the correct Directory.

Re: PnkBsrtB.exe problem
No, go to C: / program files / EA Games / (right click) BF1942 and select properties then the compatibility tab. Check the " Run this program in Compatibility Mode for" box and selected Win XP service pack 2 in the drop down. Also check the "run as administrator" box

Re: PnkBsrtB.exe problem
also - what you mentioned about navigating to the pnkbstrb file and running it as admin might not having 'shown' it doing anything - but all it is is a Service and should be listed in your Services tab in your Task Manager.
Also - If I'm reading this thread correctly - it wasn't fixed by running the game as Admin or running in compatibility mode - TNT updated his files from Spec's zip that NS posted there and it fixed it like a charm
Let us know
