Battlefield 2 Punkbuster "service abnormality"?

Every time I try to join an online game in Battlefield 2, I make it as far as clicking the "Join Game" button, then I get kicked by punkbuster with the error message "service abnormality." I have a windows 7 pc, and I have the 1.5 patch installed for BF2. I also have the latest patch for punkbuster installed.Battlefield 2 Punkbuster "service abnormality"?
PUNKBUSTER



Make sure your windows user account type is administrator.

Download and run http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?pag鈥?/a>

Download: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?pag鈥?/a> and run the uninstall first, then install.

Please make sure you allow the services PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe from your "C:\Windows\system32\" folder (or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\" on 64bit systems) in security software like virus scanners and/or firewalls.

In case of doubt, manually add both to your firewall's allow list.

After the installation process you will only find PnkBstrA, so just make sure this process file is not blocked.



You can also try right clicking on any Punkbuster exe files and select properties, compatability, and change to XP SP2.
