Punkbuster

Post by mactoman »

Is anybody familiar with punkbuster and their error codes? One of my clan mates seems to have problems logging into Americas Army from time to time, and the only thing that I can see causing it is the punkbuster program. The error reads---insufficient o/s priveleges---. Seems that he never had the problem before, and I'm not sure what that means. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :nod:

Here's what Punkbuster says...

I keep getting kicked by PunkBuster for "Insufficient O/S Privileges"?

Download and run this file from any location, it will check for adware that stops you from being able to play on PB servers. The VX2 adware edits your user rights when it infects your computer, and many programs do not repair this when they remove it.

http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/VX2Finder(126).exe

Click the "Find VX2.betterinternet info" button to make sure that you don't have this adware. If there are no files listed, go on to the last step. If you find the adware files, (it is usually 3 random named dll files) Select all the files found.

Press 'Delete These Files'. The program will delete all files but one that will be deleted on reboot. Allow program to reboot. Once Restarted:

Press 'Guardian.reg'.
Press 'User Agent'.
Press 'Restore Policy'.
Clicking on "find vx2.BetterInternet info" again should show all fields blank.
If you have no adware files, just click on the "Restore Policy" Button
The more I drink, the less I care.
