Kingz, PB won't work well if you set compatibility to anything less than Windows 2000. Will it work on that?

Seem your services may not be installed or Looks as if maybe it is PB service is disabled or not installed correctly.

If you have installed PB, make sure you do it as an administrator and you need to add a game "America's Army" and make sure you select the correct path to your \America's Army\System folder for the version v2.3.0. where ever you installed it, then check for updates.

If you have done this then do the following.

type "services.msc" into your run command
You will get a list of all your services on your computer..

PnkBstrA & PnkBstrB service should both appear and be Started .. If they are stopped, they should be set to automatic. You can start them manually by right clicking on them and selecting Start....

Ok this is the kick im getting everytime I get into the server.

PUNKBUSTER KICKED PLAYER '^GOD.KINGZ-' (FOR 0 MINUTES) ... RESTRICTION: SERVICE COMMUNICATION FAILURE: PNKBSTRB.EXE DRIVER FAILURE (PNKBSTRK.SYS) FFAB

I've reinstalled pb over and over again, I've made sure there not blocked in anyway and pbA, pbB are both running. the kick happens about a minute after getting into the server. Any help would be much appreciated :]

Oh yea I can only open the game if I set compatibility to Win 98 / Win Me for some reason. :S

i had this issue with 2.8.4/5.

first make sure these programs are running in services, then check that your firewalls or internet security settings has them as allowed, other wise type PNKBSTRB.EXE DRIVER FAILURE into google and the fix should come up

I think there also could be another problem.. The pb with v2.3.0 wont upgrade to the current pb.. I think I must have used my 2.8.5 or copied files across to be quicker without really thinking about it..

So you could try copying all your pb folder files from 2.8.5 to your 2.3.0 folder.. You need the pb files in the pb directory plus the pb\dll and pb\htm directories..

or goto to punkbuster and download directly from there for the latest files..

or i will make a zip of the files you need - but will be in a day or 2 when I get some time..

THE PB FIX -

There is a problem updating PB so download the AAV2.3.0_pbfile.zip from here

http://cid-2366531d83b14e1a.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public/AA%20Installs/AA%20V2.3.0


Extract these files directly into the folder: -

\america's army v2.3.0\system\pb\
