Re: punk buster problem

That means your windows account is not running as an administrator. PB demands your windows account be an administrator. if you can log into your computer as admin, or have someone that is admn, log in, they can change your account to administrator level in the computer management screen.
right click on 'my computer' and choose 'manage'. then look under users.
