I can confirm that there's not any problem whats however using Quake in vista ! , (Altrough only for the gamma corruption what mow already stated wich can be fixed by simply Changing Compatability mode to XP) i have been benchmarking Quake 3 both on Xp and Vista and guess what Vista is even a little bit faster now then Xp ! , Currently iam using Vista Ultimate X64 and its smooth like a baby butt Big grin

then U must be lucky Winking

after 4h of reading internet board I found the cure

first of need put punkbuster services in mine o/s by an little program called "pbsvc.exe"

then the problem appears, this massage "PunkBuster Client: O/S Exception Notice" spammed mine console until got kicked with an random failure message

the fix is pretty easy to go

set "PnkBstrA.exe" and "PnkBstrB.exe" to run in compatible mode XP/SP2 in both folders "C:/Windows/SysWOW64" and "C:/Windows/System32" then restart pc

If you are having the O/S Exception Notice, and you are running Windows Vista, here is how I fixed mine. I had tried updating Punkbuster of course, both manually and using PBSetup, and neither method helped. My machine was communicating fine, but the O/S Exception remained, and I would be kicked, in my case from COD4. Here is how I fixed mine:

Step 1- Make sure Punkbuster is updated. I would suggest using PBSetup, Punkbuster's updating utility. You can get it and its associated instructions <a href="http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php">here</a>

Step 2- Make sure you don't have a firewall blocking Punkbuster. There are two files you need to configure access for in your firewall, PnkBstrA and PnkbstrB, located in the C;/Windows/SysWOW64 folder.

Step 3- Run Punkbuster with Admin priviledges. Go to the C:/Windows/SysWOW64 folder again, and find PnkbstrA and PnkbstrB. Right click on PnkbstrA, select properties, then click the "Compatibility" tab at the top. At the bottom of the window, there will be a box to check off to "run this program as an administrator". Put a check mark in this box. Apply the changes and close the windows until you are back in the SysWOW64 folder. Now, repeat the steps above for PnkbstrB.

Step 4- Restart the computer. I am not totally sure this is even necessary, but I restarted mine when I did it, just to be on the safe side.

That should do it. Go and test it, and I will be looking for reply's to this thread to see if this helps other people too. Good luck!

well, not good if you dont have pbsvc.exe. http://www.evenbalance.de search for pbsetup.exe and reinstall pb (delete pb-folder before).

Those 2 progs are services from punkbuster, no apps to run manually. Could also be that you disabled pbsvc.exe on autorun, or blocked by firewall?

the new PB must install services on your PC, and u can't do it by installing pointrelease as it was before

of course install now newest pointrelease to crate PB folder and then install punkbuster services on yours PC download pbsvc.exe here
