The"Punkbuster OS privileges 508 430" error in Battlefield2 By Thomas Tingsted Mathiesen (tma@tma.dk)

The"Punkbuster OS privileges 508 430" error in Battlefield2

www.tma.dk

 Why does this problem occur?

It happens when some specific security settings are changed, for me it started when I changed my password.(Domain account)
I tried to delete Battlefield2 completely, reinstall and all,
same error - I get connected to the server, no problem,
and if the game havent started yet I whon't get kicked, but as soon as the
game starts, I get kicked after apx. 20 seconds with the errormessage "punkbuster OS privileges 508 430".

 The sollution that worked for me

1) You must have local administrator priviledges on Windows XP SP2 when playing Battlefield 2 (Another punkbuster bug)
2) Update your punkbuster with the Punkbuster setup 2.7 (Run several times until you see an EULA - Punkbuster software !! go figure)

Try running Battlefield 2 now - if you still experience problems, continue below.

3) Open your Battlefield2 program folder (c:\program files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\)
4) RightClick on the BF2.exe file.
5) Select Run as
6) Deselect the option "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" and click OK (Battlefield2 start up when hitting OK)

I hope this helped :)
 Happy fraggin
