Hello to all

I found the solution, u will get ur cod4 crashed if u r using xfire for launching the game or if u already used it once and xfire is running in backround, it will still crashes, first att all try to exit xfire and try then, if the problem is still there u have to let pb services to run on desktop, set full control, after that is done u have to instal pbsvc again, and download pb files for Cod4 cuz Punkbuster is not supporting cod4 anymore, when u copy files to pb file of cod4 problem should be solved, those guys from Microsoft are not even tryin to help...

hope I helped, it workked for me

    Antonov - I hope you have success.  However, fyi, I started my ticket with PB at the end of October 2012...they asked a bunch of questions but stopped responding to me in mid November 2012.  Not a peep since.....

    Issue:

    Hello. After updating to Windows 8 I have no ability to play on servers with PB, because it always kicks me from the game and appears error. How can this be solved? Seems theres no compatbility W8 with PB.
