COD4 Error

Rampage1990 · 02-26-2009, 04:13 PM

Hey everyone. I just reinstalled COD4 since I got a new video card. I am getting kicked with this error: Unknown Windows API Function 131131. Can anyone help me? Thanks

That's a PunkBuster error, try updating it with: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

Ok, I updated PB, but now I am getting the same error but 131134. Could this be caused because I am using Windows 7 Beta?

Been doing a bit of searching and it seems that Windows 7 is the problem, found a fix that MAY work for it here: http://msmvps.com/blogs/brianmadsen/archive/2009/01/14/windows-7-punkbuster-fix.aspx

Hope it helps.

"Ok - i got it working again.

I installed a new Windows 7 32-bit home premium, turned off windows updates, installed COD4..

Manually installed PunkBuster..

then i set Cod4 to run in Windows Vista compatibility mode, i disabled Visual Themes and ran it as an administrator.

did the same for pbsrv, pnkbstA and pnkbstB.

disabled desktop composition for pnkbstA and pnkbstB.

then i turned UAC notifications all the way down.

rebooted...

played for 2 hours last night and it's working now.

i haven't upgraded to Ultimate and i haven't installed any windows updates (except for the medial player fix).

Strange thing here is that i've tried installing a new version of 32-bit home premium before and it still didn't work.

I have no idea if the order i did things in mattered or if the PB install manually applied mattered..i'm have it working now and i'm not going to re-install any more OS's for a little while (that's 5 or 6 complete installs in lesser weeks)."
