Try to reinstall pb.

1. Delete pb folder from quake 3 folder.
2. Download this and install pb with this.
3. Download this and install this.

Re: Quake 3 crash /punkbuster/

do you have RivaTuner installed and it ran when you got this error ?

If that is true then you could either close RivaTuner or you could try to enable the RivaTuner protection which reduces his memory access so that punkbuster can work and not crash from here:

Power User tab>Rivatuner>system
set ProtectMMIO registry entry to 1.
and ProtectProcess is set to 0.

some1 had the same error number '000807a5' coming from pbcl.dll and he managed to solve it. he said it was an background process which caused it. More details on the his topic:

Re: Quake 3 crash /punkbuster/

once i had a similiar problem while i had a ATI card i solved it with using an older driver, but i had this problem already in 2003 dunno if it helps you now.

so for the case ur q3 "hangs up" i am pretty sure the problem is caused through a prozess conflict between ur vid-card and pb.

Re: Quake 3 crash /punkbuster/

Im kinda having same problem so instead of creating new thread ill write here. When i play on server with pb ON after few mins my pc freezes. No error nothing, just freezes and loop sound. I tried searching on few forums and they say some programs interfere with pb and when disabling that prog. problem goes away. But i dont have any new programs installed since december that are working in background. I have Avast, utorrent, daemon tools thats it. Tried disabling, no difference. Tried update pb, reinstalling pb. Any suggestions? Oh and to add i have same problem with Battlefield Bad Company 2.
