This causes me to get kicked from servers. Symptoms:You are running sysinternals process explorer and get one of the following errorsERROR: Failed to delete existing PnkBstrB service (from PBSVC tester)pnkbstrB.exe initialization error (in game)cannot start - punkbuster service marked for deletion (in windows services)Workaround: If I quit sysinternals process explorer and use windows normal process explorer it works fine.I tested this a number of times using even balance's PBSVC tester.Just my experience. Shame because I much prefer the sysinternals process explorer (i use v15.22), but i guess it is bugged with punkbuster.

When joining multiplayer games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Call of Duty 4, I get kicked within a couple of minutes with the message: "[playername] kicked: pnkbstrB.exe initialization error"...... Important notes: Punkbuster runs as two services installed in \syswow64: pnkbstrA.exe and pnkbstrB.exe, these services are apparently being disabled by win7 and 'marked for deletion' per: http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6835/servicesnapin.jpg In pre RTM versions of win7 this or a very very similar problem existed which I believe was due to punkbuster being specifically disabled by windows I've done fresh installs on win7 numerous times since RTM from both Technet image and Retail DVD and punkbuster ran fine my last install that ran correctly was Mar-4 I have taken many steps including: clean reinstall of OS (x3),drivers, windows update,game, punkbuster, correct update of punkbuster manual installation of punkbuster with file by file check for version and correct location new COD4via Steam for automatic install and punkbuster Windows Defender exclusion of punkbuster and the entire game folder open ticket with evenbalance.com, they've got no idea install of winxp mode / virtual pc, punkbuster runs fine in virtual mode, but you can't run full screen directx from virtual pc so I'm looking for ideas.... a fresh install of win7 changed in some very significant way during March multiple edits to reflect steps to date Edited by ANUoldman Monday, April 19, 2010 9:29 PM Friday, April 02, 2010 9:59 PM Reply | Quote Answers 10 Sign in to vote problem found: for those concerned, if you are using Punkbuster with any game in Windows 7 including Call of Duty 4 (COD4) and Battlefield Bad Company 2 (BC2), and you are getting: -"[playername] kicked: pnkbstrB.exe initialization error
