I Did PBSetup and i have up to date software

[Kaifa]

Same problem for me, everything's updated, but nothing seems to work by now. I even tried disabling AVG Antivirus or Windows Firewall.

In order,
-I updated PB using the PB Setup 2.7
-then I checked with PB Services Installer what was going on
-added PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe to Windows Firewall allowed programs,
-then I checked that the same services are set to start automatically every time your computer starts. Going to: Start menu, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and changing PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB to start automatically.
-After that, as read on another forum, I deleted the PB folder in Battlefield1942 folder, and made a new update so that the PB folder was a new one with only the freshest files

Still getting kicked after 5 seconds, as soon as I enter the map.

I checked if the PnkBstrB.exe is itill in Win/System32 folder.
When it isn't running, I start through the test service and then check in "Administration/Services" that it is automatically running.

But still got kicked with or without FH, I tried vanilla BF and it's the same. I can play offline or (at least) in a friend's coop server.

Here are the results of Test Services:

After that, I see with CTRL+ALT+CANC that in services PnkBstrB.exe is interrupted, so I open the Administration/Sevices and make this file start.

Replied the test service with PnkBstrB.exe running:
