Some where between earth and space.
I have recently installed the 64bit version of Win7 which I received through "House Party." Here's my issue, when I used the 32 bit version and after updating PB, the game was working great. Now after updating PB on the 64 bit version I'm getting kicked out before I even select my spawn point. I did a clean install, I have updated all of my drivers or at least those that are Win7/Vista compatible. I'm at a loss, and I really don't want to go back to the 32 bit version.

for anyone else with pb problems, you need to manually download and install (as admin) the punkbuster services, using pbsvc

then you have to update for your specific game using pbsetup

happy gaming! :)

It was working, for a minute. The kick message was RunPB.exe fail. Which I took as PB never getting installed. So I uninstalled, ran ccleaner, rebooted and tried installing again. In which I got several failed attempts at installing and two BSOD's!!
At this time I now have BF2 installed, but when trying to patch to 1.41 I get "patching failed" error.
When looking at the services.msc Punk Buster doesn't even show up....

I wouldn't even bother with the 1.41 patch use the 1.5. I would head to evenbalances website and run the installer from there with admin rights. That way its the newest version.

Thanks, will try patching to 1.5. Although I thought you had to patch to 1.41 first? Guess I'll find out! Thanks for the tip.:D

Not sure exactly what is going on on your end but other than the warning when the installer first starts about the game not being tested on the OS, I never had any problems installing BF2 on either x64 Vista or x64 Windows 7.

My fault, forgot you're on x64. You'll find the BF2 entries in the Wow6432Node.

Well it's finally working. After uninstalling it once more, clearing out the registry and then installing it. I went into safe mode and patched it successfully. All is working well along with PB. Thanks for the help. :)

Have you tried to run the updater from evenbalances website?
I would run the update then reboot and run it again just to see if its all there.

I got mine fixed aswell, you have to manually replace the .htm files in the /pb/ folder in Bf2, then run the setup.exe.
