    I installed the modded 266.44 drivers but now instead of getting kicked for multiple direct 3D Loaded I get kicked for disallowed program driver. I am trying to play cod 2 if that helps. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm kind of getting tired of being kicked for this seemingly never ending stream of PB kicks.

    I've wrestled with this problem for a while now, and even though the 266 drivers seemed to solve it for me, they are too glitchy with my other games (got texture issues with Left 4 Dead 2, among other problems)

    I'm rolled back to a clean install of 260.99 and waiting for an official stable update from nvidia to stop this punkbuster/freezing problem. I think all we can do is wait until either Punkbuster fixes their service, or Nvidia fixes their Optimus.
