    Vista, ARRGGHHH

    hi guys, i hope you can help...
    i just installed vista home premium 64 bit and then, due to a horrible HDD situation, reinstalled BF2. i got the latest patch (again) and everything works great until you join a server. the level loads, i click join game and the spawn screen appears, as it should. However, i immediately get disconnected by Punk Buster with the reason given that i have 'insufficient O/S privileges'
    has anyone heard of this before? i have scouted around some forums and groups but this is one vista problem no one seems to be talking about....
    thanks in advance.

          Gingaevans - Right click on your BF2 icon on your desktop, go to properties, go to compatibility tab, click on run as administrator and then click OK. Should work.

                  everytime you play BF2 u have to right click and hit run as admin, i went back to XP because i got tired of my game running low and i didnt have 300 bucks for a new card and ram, XP runs my game smooth again.

                      No you don't... Select run as admin in compatability settings.
