BF2S Forums RESTRICTION: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrB.exe driver failur

First try: http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php

And if that won't help, http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Is this the wrong section? My bad... thx for the help any way

When I install the pb, it automaticly install its-self, so I don't really have the option to install it manualy?

And when I run the test and install'ing pb, it say error at the firewall, like  "Adding firewall rule for PnkBstrA  ERROR"

Is that the problem?

yes its a firewall problem... punkbutter B and A need to access the internet to tell EA which ad you were looking at... lol

Ok thx for the help very much all. The problem is that can't seem to find PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB, so how do I enable them? I have a Sygate Personal Firewall, and I can't find PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB throug the application control.

thx DeathUnlimited very very much for your help. Well i know where to find the files, but i don't know how to add them to the firewall.  I can't like go find the PbA and B files throug the firewall (Sygate Personal Firewall). Do I have to copy the files in to my firewall map? Cause I can't just press on "options" in Sygate Personal Firewall and add PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe, so they run in my firewall, manually.



When I run the test, i get this result:
