VISTA SULOTION!!

After a few days research I have finally found a solution to this very annoying vista problem concerning punkbuster and Enemy Territory!!

There is no known fix for it anywhere so I had to test a lot of different things, I also know lots of people with battlefield 2 have this problem but I can´t really tell if this fix works on bf2 as well since I don't have that game.

This error let's you play for 1 to 3 minutes and then punkbuster kicks you out saying "missing/corrupted windows api function [131144]" and even though it lets you join the server right away again, the error just comes back over and over again. So anyway here is the solution:

Go into the control panel via the start menu and open "Administrative Tools".

Open "Services", locate and right click on "Application Information&" and then click on properties,

now set "Startup type" to automatic and also click the "start" button located under "service status" so it looks like in the image below, and finally click apply and ok at the bottom of the window so that your settings are saved.
