Punkbuster wont let me run it proberly

I had the same issue last night after years of trouble free play... nothing had changed. Mine wouldn't even connect to the servers let alone let me join before being kicked... It was just an endless loop of looking like it was trying to connect then nothing. So I tried BF3 and I could connect but got the message: 

Restriction: Service communication failure: PnKBstraA.exe

So now I know the cause and go hunting for a fix... and like you ended up trying to reinstall PunkBuster Services which I found here: https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/battlefield/punkbuster-technical-issues/# 

Mine is now working ok. I looked at your log against mine and the only difference I can see is the version number of my service test (v0.994) is later than yours, as is my PnkBstrA Version: (1041). maybe they've updated something since you last tried, so maybe it's worth trying it again from my link instead of the the one you've already tried.

Here's my log for comparison:
