    Hi.

    I have been playing the demo version for over a year now and have had my problems with getting kicked, but a punkbuster update usual sorts things out.

    but today i have been kicked out about 20 times with the message

    "punkbuster client o/s exeption notice"

    what`s going on!!!

    Are you updating PB through BF2142?

    When I have issues, I usually go directly to Punk Buster's website and download their update software. Not sure if this is the update you have already tried but that's my 2 cents.

    are you still playing the demo?

    the most common punkbuster problem for 2142 is you need to run the game as administrator or you will get kicked from every server.
