i recently installed vista ultimate (32-Bit) and reinstalled COD 4. now every time I try and join a cracked server I can play for about 1 minute before I get kicked by punkbuster for:

Restriction (0 mins): Communication Error; PnkBstrB.exe failed to initialize.

I have tried with and without firewall and anti-virus and I still get the same message. I have tried unstalling, reinstalling both the game and punkbuster individually and still no joy.

ive have used all the tools on Punkbuster website and again im still getting the same message.

if anyone can help me i would be eternally gratefully as im fully addicted to this game lol

my system specs:

AMD Dual Core X2 6400+
Sapphire Radeon ATI HD 3850 graphics card
Abit AN52S Mothboard (with realtek onboard sound)
2 x 1gb Geil DDR2 PC640 RAM
Vista Ultimate (32-bit)
