CoD 4 Help plz (this is a bit different form the other ones)

[R1CK]

Everytime i run COD 4, it gives me a pnkbstrb.exe initialization failed error. now commom solutions to this are :
1. to check wether PnkBstrA.exe is running in services. Done.
2. install Pbsvc again. if i uninstall it then i wont be able to install it again coz while it installs it sees wether ma windows is genuine, so it doesnt install any further. i tried the WGA Crack but even then it denies.
3. run pbsetup.exe and when a program is opened, a list comes of certain games in which cod4 is, click that nad the pb should auto update. Did that. No dice.


I did go thru the other two ones and found the cracked one. that did help but onnly one of ma problems. before i applied this http://sites.google.com/site/cooldude911/ the error was a corrupted file memory, the error that was the reason those other two were made but i cant find a solution to this Now Please Helpppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From what I understand this might be the solution to your problem. Before trying this can you tell us whether PnkBstrA.exe is running the background service or not. The reason for this is because it is PnkBstrA.exe that initializes it. If it is not running then PnkBstrB.exe wont start.



PunkBuster kicks me for INIT FAILURE, what does that mean?
Usually, this message means your PB is not working properly. You should run our PBSETUP program to make sure your PB is up to date.
However, we have recently discovered that some broadband routers routinely drop OOB (Out of Band) packets for no apparent reason. Since all PB packets are OOB, these routers can actually block PB's communication (again for no apparent reason). To determine if the router is the cause of this problem for you, remove the router and connect directly to the internet. If you are able to play this way, then the cause is very likely the router.
Based on user feedback, the following router brands/models are reported to have problems. Not necessarily all models of a brand might be affected, and the list is in no way complete but it can give you a few hints. Also, we do not claim that our list below shows the only solution to fix your issue, nor that it will fix it for sure even though it has worked for others. It could very well be that changing some settings in your router could help as well. Contacting the company directly might help you as well.

• Linksys - possible solution: Use firmware 1.44.2
• Motorola - possible solution: Update to latest firmware
• Netgear - possible solution: Disable SPI (statefull packet inspection)
