PB EULA Error - Help

[alextaylor29]

Guys, I've read all the PB error threads but haven't had any luck getting BF2 to work anymroe with PB. I've tried everyhing except completely wiping my hardrive and re-installing BF 2.

The latest error I get is during a fresh PB installation where it says the "Eula is corrupt and I can no longer legally use PB. I must reintall PB and start over."

However when I do this, I get the same error preventing PB for even installing now.

What the hell?

I have a ticket open with Evenbalance but they're clueless as well? Do I simply have to come to the resalization that I can no longer play BF2?

Re: PB EULA Error - Help

Vista isn't the issue. JESUS I wish you guys would effing stop dissing Vista.

Re: PB EULA Error - Help

No on Vista (I have XP) but no also on the rest of your suggestions. I will try those.

Honestly I'd like to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling BF2 but it might come to that. I have cleanly and totally un-installed PB multiple times (I have an aftermarket program that even removes it from the registry.)

I will try your suggestions, thanks.
