1. You'll need to download 'tasklist' from the following site: http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp/tasklist.exe
2. Start the game, minimize it.
3. Click "Start" => "Run" => type "cmd"
4. Type "tasklist /SVC > tasks.txt"
This procedure will create a text file with a list of your current processes. The text file can be found at"C:/Users/[your user]/tasks.txt". Paste the contents of this file into a new note on this ticket (you may need to put two notes or more if you have several of them). 11/15/2013 12:12:08 - "Philipp" Note #19: PnkbstrA.log:

----------------------------------
Tests finished. 11/14/2013 12:08:02 - "Alex J" Note #17: Something on your computer is blocking/conflicting with the PB services. Until you find out what that is, the issue will continue.
Please navigate to C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\Punkbuster. You will find some logfiles in this folder. Open them and paste the last few lines of each into a new note. 11/13/2013 07:32:58 - "Philipp" Note #16: this tip didnt work i still get kicked for communication problems with pnkbstrB.exe 11/13/2013 06:34:48 - "Philipp" Note #15: i will try this as soon as i can log into battlelog(there are confirmed login issues that make loggin in impossible) and message you about the results here. 11/12/2013 17:23:32 - "Alex J" Note #14: If you run some type of personal firewall or security software, make sure that you configure it to fully allow our services, especially PnkBstrA.exe.
These kicks are most often caused by our PnkBstrA.exe service failing to properly install our PnkBstrB.exe service during gameplay.
Also, several Windows 7 users have reported that the following steps corrected the issue for them:
- login as an Administrator user
- open Windows Explorer and browse to c:\windows\system32 (or wherever the windows folder is on your machine) - note: if you run Windows 7 64 bit, you need to browse to c:\windows\syswow64 instead
- scroll down and find PnkBstrA.exe
- right-click PnkBstrA.exe and choose Properties
- click the Compatiblity tab
- click the button at the bottom of the window that reads "Change settings for all users"
- click the checkbox for "Run this program as an administrator"
- click the "Ok" buttons to accept the changes and get back out.
Then try playing again. 11/12/2013 13:24:00 - "Philipp" Note #13: its seems like the pnkbstrB service doesnt get started
i cant find it in services.msc so i cant start it manually 11/12/2013 12:36:03 - "Philipp" Note #12: please help me 11/12/2013 12:01:28 - "Philipp" Note #11: i followed each step exactly, but i still get kicked. there is an exception in the firewalll. i uninstalled my anti-virus program. 11/11/2013 10:55:53 - "Philipp" Note #10: i will try your tips and then write back here 🙂 thank you for your support. 11/11/2013 10:54:52 - "Philipp" Note #9: ok 11/10/2013 16:36:28 - "Alex J" Note #8: Please start pbsvc.exe and run through the uninstall process. After that, run it again and run through the install process. Make sure it uninstalls/installs correctly. Reboot the computer and then try playing again. Vista (and above) users need to start it explicitly with admin rights.
Please make sure you allow the service files in security software like virus scanners and/or firewalls. You will need to allow/unblock the services PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe from your "C:\Windows\system32\" folder (or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\" on 64bit systems). In case of doubt, manually add both to your firewall's allow list. After the installation process you will only find PnkBstrA, so just make sure this process file is not blocked. Then try playing on a PB enabled server, in case of a kick, check if PnkBstrB was created and unblock it too. 11/10/2013 09:11:04 - "Philipp" Note #7: but its in my firewall and i have allowed it 11/10/2013 08:46:41 - "Philipp" Note #6: its missing and i cant install it. 11/10/2013 08:00:28 - "Philipp" Note #5: when i look at the Services.msc, there is no pnkbstrB.exe 11/09/2013 16:02:42 - "Philipp" Note #4: i did how you told me, but this time i uninstalled avira and restarted the computer. also when i now look into the firewall exception, there a now 4 pnkbstrA and 4 PnkBsrtB services. 11/09/2013 11:36:19 - "Philipp" Note #3: now it changed . instant of kicking me for pnkbsrA.exe, it now kicks me for pnkbstrB.exe; everything else is the same as before. 11/08/2013 19:32:54 - "Alex J" Note #2: Hello,
You are being kicked for a "Communication Failure" thus it is likely that something on your computer is preventing the PnkBstr services from communicating with each other.
A common cause for this is a security or anti-virus program. McAfee and other popular security/firewall programs need to be told to allow the PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB services to run without restriction (even if you turn them off while playing; the service files are located in "C:\Windows\System32" or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\"). Until you locate and remove the restrictions on PnkBstrA and B, you will continue to be kicked for this. DO NOT remove those files! E.g. if you are using a software firewall you will need to unblock/allow them.
Also make sure you don't run the game in a compatibility mode.
If you've never manually installed the PunkBuster services, you might want to try that as well. Download the service installer from http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe and run it. You might also want to reinstallthe services using this tool. 11/07/2013 12:30:57 - "Philipp"
