Can someone please help. Ive scanned forums to no avail. I get the following message as a reason for being kicked from all PB enabled Call Of Duty 4 servers ;
Restriction:Service Communication
Failure:PnkBstrB.exe driver failure[PnkBstrK.sys] ffab.
I have both PnkBstrA and B allowed through my firewalls. Have updated PB manually with the PB updater programme linked in this site and still does not work. When I run the Test i get the following ( ihave changed text colour to red to highlight the error, BUT it still shows Test completed with no errors when its finished which is wierd) ;

Thats about the length of it. Hopefully someone can please help, playing CoD4 on the disabled PB servers is driving me nutz, I dislike hackers and only wish to play on a PB enabled site.
Many thanks to whomever can sort this one out.
