I have double checked that these privileges are enabled for this game user account. I have run spy-ware checkers. The obvious assumption is that a new privilege is required, one which is not documented.
If anyone has a clue to what this might be, please inform.

Yes im getting the same error now every time I run quake 3 on the limited account. "Restriction: blocked o/s privileges: 4fd" is getting annoying as I already checked out every other protocol regarding the "Inadequate o/s privileges" error and Im still getting this. And I dont want to have to run q3 under admin everytime I wanna play. :angry:

eheheh... so now we find out who's been running the game with a lesser account. Same here... We can only wait for a reply, and additional info as to what needs to be adjusted permission-wise to settle this. Playing under a full non-restricted administrator account is not an option for me. There are just too many dishonest server operators out there.

If you have followed the FAQ on EB site, and you still have issues; then there is probably some other software that is blocking it.
I'm trying to play CoD, but the problem seems to be the same. I have none of the mentioned programs, and also nothing that comes close to doing what these things seem to do. I haven't changed the setup over the past six months, only today I got the new PB version auto-installed. Boom. It breaks.

Raise a web ticket with Even Balance and quote the 3 digit code you received when kicked.
I tried that, telling them that I have none of these programs and all the correct user privileges set, but I got just the canned responses telling me to check for these programs and the privileges. It was quite obvious that they didn't even read what I wrote.

:dntknw: Not alot we can do to help im afraid, its their software and they keep the workings of it a secret for good reasons. I can only suggest to keep submitting updates to your ticket.

try sending another support ticket but this time send them a "hijackthis" log too. load up the game as normal and the normal apps you would use and then run hijackthis. it will list your processes.
example as of now, this my log.

I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and Mcafee AntiVirus, no difference was observed. These do not appear to be related to the problem.
"Blocked O/S Privileges" does mean blocked. I tried running as admin with one of the five privileges disabled. The kick message was something like "Inadequate Permissions" with no trailing number. Completely different error message. The problem is not a missing privilege, but instead the inability of Punkbuster to verify the existing privileges status when logged on as a non-admin.
At this point I see no method of running Punkbuster enabled games in a non-admin account. It will have to be up to Evenbalance to determine if the admin level account is actually needed for cheat prevention.
Blocked O/s Privileges : 4fd
