    OOO (Order of Operation)

    Run pbsvc.exe (uninstall services, reinstall)
    Restart computer
    Update PB via pbsetup
    Make sure your PnkBstrA & PnkBstrB services are running and set to Automatic Startup
    --on XP (run>services.msc), if they aren't set to to Automatic Startup, set them

    Turn off any ACTIVELY SCANNING ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE during gaming
    --if it lags out when scanning, PB will usually not like it

    Run the game... if it continues, go through this list again and don't forget to restart..
    If there are still problems after a second run-through, post again...

    Not always... some people like to get rid of their startup items and sometimes disable things that are needed.

    or sometimes ppl go to servers that are banned by pb and have to shut the services down.

    I found that installing PB in a separate folder works for me. I put it in C:\PunkBuster
    Download PB, and put it in that folder.
    Run pbsetup.exe
    Click add game, and select CoD#
    Then update.

    Always works for me. I don't use the one installed with the game, because I can never add a game to it.

    PBSetup isn't PB alone.. when you run it, it makes the a pb folder in each game folder. I run PBSetup in a separate folder as well just so I know where it is...

    Lacoste, do you have any Antivirus programs? Do you have any firewalls actively running? If so, which ones?
    There is something blocking the communication of PB and it isn't the game itself.

    I understand that there is a pb folder in every game folder... I was just stating that adding a game manually like that works for me... Nothing else does...

    If I don't have a separate folder for Punkbuster, and add a game manually, then I can't play. I have to add the game manually. It just might, maybe, possibly work for Lacoste, as it worked for me...
