Punkbuster disallowed program/driver

Hi, I receive the error " Error Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'player's name' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827] " I did all the recommended steps like updating directx, microsoft c++ package, drivers etc., but the issue still appears 1-2 times a day. Probably you could give me the link to the list of PunkBuster disallowed programs/drivers (i failed to find one)? Maybe i have some software installed that it does not like, e.g. teamviewer, screanshot or stream programs?

  • The easiest thing to do is turn off all non Microsoft programs until you find the one causing it.

    The matter is that something can be installed, not necessary launched. I already tried to switch off everything except for OS itself, firefox and the game and the issue remained. That's why I'm asking for the link to Punkbuster blacklisted software/drivers.

    There's no list anywhere that I have found.

    By "switch off" did you do the clean boot as mentioned here:

    ?

    Sure I did the clean boot with the following RAM check.
