Well, I tried manually updating again and haven't been kicked from W@W yet. I'm going to try Modern Warfare and see if it works.
Edit: 30 minutes of COD:4 with no kicks. I guess maybe the first manual update I did was messed up somehow...
Any updates?
I had absolutely no luck with PB and BF2 in Windows 7 (7057) even after countless reinstalls/manual updates to PB. After a little snooping around, I determined that the problem was with the PnkbstrB service not initializing/disappearing from the Services manager. Setting permissions and compatibility modes on the Punkbuster services didn't work either.
Have you looked in event viewer to see if there is anything there ?
It may be PB terminating itself because the windows version doesn't match.
Yeah, here's what it logs right before the game crashes to desktop:
EventID 7036
PnkBstrB service entered the stopped state.
EventID 7045
A service was installed in the system.
