losing key packets after ET:QW

by rebell1on • 6 Aug 2007, 16:36 • Journals
I tested ET:QW yesterday , and since then i can't play ET. I get in a server for a few secs and then get kicked for Losing Key packets.



-I got SP2.
-No downloads or useless programs are open.
-I reinstalled ET and PB (and updated it).



I remember back in the past i opened a download and got something that turned my Firewall down , and I've NEVER EVER been able to put my firewall up again. May that be the reason ? Do you know any way to turn it on again?


I need help , I miss ET =<

Pnkbstr A and B delete nP

your firewall has nothing to do with it, and it definetly wouldn't be the problem if it's off

Start -> Search -> type them in
There's also a removal program I believe for it

Yeah delete it all but you can just delete the executable files and that would be fine.

Why do you insist on fucking up this guy's installation?

Which?
I only said to delete them because if I remember correctly, he can't play ET:QW on his computer so it don't make a difference

Start -> Run... -> services.msc

Set both PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB (if started) to Manual instead of Automatic.

Now both services will only start if you play QuakeWars. Each time after you played QW open up the Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + DELETE) and terminate both services if they're still running.

In that case just set both services to Disabled instead of Automatic/Manual. Reboot and your problems should be solved.

Ok. To set this , i must run PnkbstrA and B , right?

Shouldn't be necessary, if you haven't changed anything since the installation they should both show as Automatic in services.msc.

And where the heck is services.msc ?

I searched thru Start > Search , so i only see those files
