Hi you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers1.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)




I bought my copy of Call of Duty 4 back in December of 2007 or January of 2008, and I have been fine playing it until now. I have tried manually updating using PBsetup to client version c2.077, I have also unistalled/reinstalled both Call of Duty 4 and uninstalled/reinstalled PB using Pbsvc.exe, but all without success (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dntknw.gif) . I decided to open up taskmanager, and surely enough PnkbstrB.exe wasn't running in the service menu, but PnkbstrA.exe is. I have disabled my firewall and manually allowed Pnkbstra.exe and Pnkbstrb.exe through, but still no success.


I previously had to reinstall call of duty 4 to workaround a "handshaking failure." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad1.gif)


What is even more strange is that Americas Army, which is PB enabled doesn't kick me for any reason.



Does anyone have a solution?









BTW, this is my flush when I run Pbsvc and click "test services:

It says test finished without error but notice how it says "Checking if Pnkbstrb.exe is running Not Running"
