my first journal http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=65393 didnt help so here im again..

pnkBstrB.exe initialization Failed

i did this:

- Copy the pb folder from someone else and try again!

- update PB with pbsetup.exe & pbsvc.exe

- reinstall ET - update PB with pbsetup.exe & pbsvc.exe

- Start -> Run -> msconfig -> services -> disable all Microsoft services -> make the cross on the 2 punkbuster services

i made the cross but it says this:
pnkBstrA - Active
pnkBstrB - Stopped :x

i dont know how to fix it.

dunno how all this is called on english xp, so just a short explanation..

if you uncheck this box [you can find it where is also the options are to hide your porn files n stuff] you can access the "security" settings just by viewing the properties of your hdd drive...

epic to see that everyone is crying that vista is better then xp, but if you take a look at all problem journals it's most of the time vista that gets mentioned...

and not only on this site btw

check log in \WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\PunkBuster\
and access rights to the \Enemy Territory\pb\ folder because there is PnkBstrB.exe too.

Xzz 19 Aug 2008, 16:18
