    pb error

    I keep having a problem with punkbuster. I downloaded and installed the 1.4 patch, but I keep getting this problem that kicks me from the server saying "PB Init failure" or something, any idea of how I can fix this?

    Btw I just got the game.

    We are aware of a number of players getting kicked for "PB INIT FAILURE" after tonight's update. In our testing with these players, we're finding that many have security software or a firewall blocking traffic on UDP port 28962 which must be open to communicate with our COD4 update masters. If you are getting kicked after tonight's update, please either temporarily disable your firewall/security software or configure it to allow open traffic on UDP port 28962. This will allow your PunkBuster to update to future versions. Alternatively, you may manually update by using PBSETUP.

    So ensure that UDP port 28962 is in your firewalls exception list and that PB has recently been updated, you could also try ensuring that CoD4 (iw3mp.exe) is in your firewalls exception list.

    If these don't work, try running the game as an administrator, right click on the shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.

    And finally some people say that by running the game in XP compatibility mode will fix this problem, to do this;
    1. Right click the games shortcut/exe file.
    2. Select Properties.
    3. Select the Compatibility tab.
    4. In the 'Compatibility mode' section, check the box and select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 2)' from the drop down menu.
    5. Click Apply/OK and give the game a try.
