Hello, PunkBuster insists of having full rights to your machine, else you'll
get booted from a server. To get around this you'll need to run Call of
Duty 2 as an administrator, by right-clicking on the short cut and selecting
Run as administrator.

If you use the Games Explorer, you can right-click go to Customise and Edit
it, by going to Compatibility and selecting Run as administrator.

I suspect this is a Broken or not up-to-date Punkbuster. There were a bunch
of problems back in late July with this.

If you are one of the unlucky ones, then here is the fix. Just download the
small file and run it and it will either uninstall or just reinstall the
latest and corrected PB files and then runs a neat PB check utility to make
sure it is all going correctly


Do the following...

Download and run pbsvc.exe from HERE

http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Highlight Un-Install/Remove PunkBuster Service

Push Next

When finished, open pbsvc.exe again.

This time highlight Install/Re-Install PunkBuster Service

This will reinstall all the new files from the last update including a new
PnkBstrA.exe, PnkBstrB.exe and PnkBstrK.exe

ive done all that still get kicked for no handshake unistalled cod2
reinstalled let me on for 30 secs kicked for same
 
Ummm. Check your firewall is not blocking it. Try turning firewall off
completely just for one connect and then Add what ever exe file is being
blocked to the Allowed outward connections

What version of COD2 are you running? 1.3 fixes a lot of Multiplayer
problems

bullguard off still same get kicked for no handshake pnkbstrb ive got 1.3
