Punkbuster is a ball buster
After the release of PB client version 1.084 I have not been able to play BF on my "work" laptop on punkbuster servers. It works fine on non PB servers. I did buy 2 BF1942 game disks and switch between my son's "slow" computer and the laptop. Everything works on the "slow" computer. On the laptop I get a message similar to "inadequate O/S priveleges" and sometimes I get booted right away or I can play for about 10 minutes before I get booted.
I assume that using the laptop, I am not considered the administrator since I cannot manage the security log (this is the only item on the FAQ for BF1942 on the evenbalance website that I could not change). Does anyone know any way around this? This would save me some $$ from upgrading a second PC to play BF when I have the use of a decent laptop.
