    Solution:
    For 64 bit systems go to C:\windows\syswow64 then look for pbb.exe (PnkBstrB.exe and PnkBstrA.exe)
    For 32 bit systems go to C:\windows\System32 then look for pbb.exe (PnkBstrB.exe and PnkBstrA.exe)

    -Run it as admin
    -And then press open again
    -Then you will get a short cmd screen
    -Then you know its running
    -Then go to Services and make PnkBstrB.exe and PnkBstrA.exe and run Automatic and Start the service.
    -Apply the changes.

    -Also Run Origin Games\Battlefield 3\pbsvc.exe as administrator and test service. If the test fails uninstall/reinstall the service.
