Punkbuster Problem

[Schlup]

I'm trying to run CoD4 and CoD5 at the same time, which I can, however when I am in the game it will kick me out of one or the other stating that the PnkBstrB heartbeat has stopped.  Is there any way around this?  Could I run two instances of punkbuster at the same time?  Any other ideas?

The problem is punkbuster runs as a service now and when a game running PB starts, it locks the service.

What you can try doing is start CoD4 then minimize it and search for PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe on your hard drive and run them again. They will pop up as blank black boxes, let them run then run CoD5. HOPEFULLY, CoD5 will grab the new ones, but its hard to say.

Also, there are a number of those EXEs on your system and you need to open the correct ones the game wants, so you may have to try a few different ones. I think the ones they would want are in the Windows folder, but I am not entirely sure.

Thanks, I'll try it.
