I decided to reformat my comp, everything works fine now. Thanks for listening and trying to help. :)

Also, would reformatting my computer help?

I ran pbsetup. It said it was already up to date. so i deleted the pb folder in the installation directory and tried installing it again. Still no difference. What exactly is pnkbstrK.sys and where should it be exactly? maybe i can take the file from someone and put it into the folder? I know it's a longshot but still.

Still not working. I uninstall using pbsvc.exe(as administrator, thought it might help) then i tried reinstalling using pbsetup, but it says it's already there. screenshot in attached file. N matter how many times i uninstall. Is there anyway i can copy the files directly?

I've tried that before, i keep getting this error: Starting PunkBuster Service Tests (v0.991) (10/08/11 17:16:02) Checking OS Windows NT 6.1 (build 7600) 32-bit Checking PnkBstrA service status RUNNING Checking PnkBstrA Version OK (1034) Extracting "PnkBstrB.exe" to: "C:\Users\Rohan\AppData\Roaming\PnkBstrB.exe" OK Checking firewall settings OFF Is PnkBstrA explicitly allowed?

I posted to even balance but they aren't replying.

I had bought Battlefield Bad Company 2 about 1 and a half years ago and played it for about 3 months and have leveled up to rank 10. But about a year to 2 years back, all of a sudden i was unable to join any ranked match and was always kicked on account of this: You have been kicked from the game. The reason is: Punkbuster kicked player 'Rohan92' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe driver failure (PnkBstrK.sys) ffab I still get this message everytime I log on. Even after shifting. I have never cheated in a single match. I wasn't able to post until now because I didn't know the procedure. I just pre-ordered BF3 and realised I was being kicked from every match with punkbuster enabled in the beta. Really really need help guys. I had been using a shared IP address connection at the time and now I'm using a wi-fi home network but no one else here plays the game from the same address. Can that be the cause of the problem? If so then why is it kicking me even after I shifted? My registration email for BF:BC 2 is [email protected] for the game. and my soldier name is Rohan92.(It still kicks me if I create a new soldier) Please help out.
