BF: 2142 "Punkbuster," error message

[Legosul]

Whenever I go into a game server, I get to play for literally 2-5 seconds, then it stops me, takes me to the main screen and says "Punkbuster," thats ALL it says, and I can only press "Ok," there is no other message to go along with it.
Just "Punkbuster."
Is there anything I can do to stop this?

This is usually when you run the game without being and admin or punkbuster is outta date. Run the game as an administrator and click the link below to update PB.

Tell me bout it. I had an nforce4 mobo and was getting those random crashes that everyone with this chipset got with the same game. EA AND nvidia knew bout this, yet did nothing and still haven't.

Any1 else with ideas?

Well i've had this game for a year now and found no solution to it for two weeks straight of searching.
So i gave up on it, now I come back to find myself in the same place.
