There has been an ongoing Punkbuster problem for many (since about 1 Aug),
not just Vista. If you get the error message
>>
Problems with Server Communications and disconnected after 0 Mins with
PnkbstrA.exe
>>
Download the file pbsvc.exe from
http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe
Run the program, it may ask to remove old Punkbuster, if so let it and run
the program again to manually install latest.
At the end, there is a neat Punkbuster checking utility and it makes sure
everything is working fine

i have been having similar problems, using the punkbuster soft ware is a
really good start, and most ppl will find that it has fixed their issue...but
mine is a little more complex. i have tracked the issue with pnkbstrb.exe to
the system regestry, and the fact that punkbuster when applying the regestry
keys for pnkbstra and b cant right the regestry info to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root" because windows blockes
ant attemp to right to this path, any help on how to get around this?
actually i think that prog fixed my issues, cheers dude
i m having the same issue with the error message. i recently got a
replacement laptop with vista and have the same problem. i was told it
could be a firewall too. i m not the greatest computer person here and
as far as manuelly installing punk buster i m confussed here.... can
some on do a step by step proceedure on the installing the punkbuster
manuelly thx....

Punkbuster is installed with the game, however you might need it updating so
do this...
run the punkbuster setup from here
http://www.scottykone.karoo.net/pbsetup.exe then click add a game then find
Battlefield 2142 then click update.

I was having the same problem as you all. I did a search online and
found some pretty wild fixes for the issue that required redoing this
and downloading that etc. I was able to fix the problem fairly quickly
actually and it was painless. Right click on the desktop icon for BF2142
and goto Properties. Then, go to Compatibility and select Windows XP for
Compatibility mode (make sure you check the box as well) and make the
Privilege Level - Administrator. Boom. The only downside is that you're
running at 32 bit, but at least you're playing! Have fun.

Hi,
launching BF as an admin should help, if you haven`t already done it.

Hm, did you launch BF.exe via "right mouse button-> launch as an admin" ?
Otherwise, what does windows system protocol say ?
