No matter what server I join, after about 15 seconds I get auto kicked by Punkbuster for 0 mins with a reason of "inadequate O/S privileges" -- but nothing has changed on my O/S or game or router. Any ideas?
did you change your user profile recently? like say switch it to a lower more restricted group instead of admin group where you might have installed the game?
Here's a link to the punkbuster manual updater, in case you need it. I've only ever had a couple of probs with PB, and it was because it wasn't updating properly, which I fixed by manually updating. Good luck with it.

maybe see if installing sp2 helps?
btw, there have been other threads about this - assuming you checked those out and no-one else found a solution?

None, thats worked for me. And if SP2 didint make so much other stuff crappy I'd of updated. But this JUST happened, was playing a game, wanted to switch servers....then boom got this error.
weird - it really does sound like the kind of error you would get if the servers got their pb updated while you didn't - but the manual updater should've fixed that. sorry i couldn't help...BiZoB wrote:

Thats fine man, it was an idea which is all I'm after. I've been looking for a decent reason to format my computer anyway lol. This might just make me not care and do it lol.....if it doesn't get fixed that is.
---Edit---
Well I fixed it, I just logged on as my admin acct, changed my main acct to standard user then back to admin and its working

interesting... maybe it was something that happened due to an automated windows update then. for example, the .net framework creates an account for itself when you install it, so maybe there was a windows update that tinkered with the privileges in some way...
Well, like this guy, my Punkbuster is screwy. It's telling me I have Blocked O/S privelages; 508 : 430 I have done all the things that the punkbuster website tells you to but NONE have worked.
