Server Requires PB - Problem please help

AnthoNY · 2008-09-15, 21:05

Hey guys,
I had the handshake problem, but it got fixed by me running
pnkbstrb.exe everytime before I started bf2. Today I go on my computer after school, and I played yesterday fine. By accident I went to task manager and stopped pnkbstrA.exe and loaded pnkstrb but it would not show up in task manager. Then I went into PR, and whenever I click any server I get the, this server requires PB to play or something.

I have PB running so i don't know. I tested it twice, restarted my comp once, and I had PnkbstrA running after every test. Now PnkbstrB and A are running fine together but still same problem. I don't know what to do now guys, please help me. I really want to continue flying helicopters

Do you have Punkbuster enabled in the game itself?

There should be a check-box under the server filters.

Yea you mean in filter server list? Then yes.
It says,
"server requires players to enable PunkBuster"
How would I enable it?

Click once in the big box next to PUNK BUSTER on the lower right corner of your game browser to place a 'x' in the box.
That 'enables it.
That's it.
