run the Pb updater.. you can run it anywhere , you just select the game and it finds the default directory and then updates you. thats it.

ohh ok yeah you need to set it to run as administrator.... Vista is really screwy with programs and how they run. Same thing happened to me when I loaded ultimate I had to go in and set punkbuster or the game to run as admin, Hell I even went after that and unchecked everything at once cause I was tired of the damn popups. They only help people that don't know any better to better protect them.

well you have to set it to run as Admin since it enables data transfer in and out as it will when you try to do anything like that.

I just don't understand why its so hard for you to set it to run under administrator??? It took me like 1min to fix it when I tried to play BF2
