    I recently reinstalled Battlefield 2 and updated to patch 1.41 then to 1.50
    Whenever I join a game I almost immediately get booted and I get this message:

    RESTRICTION: Service Communication Error: PnkBstrA.exe

    How do I fix this? I really would like to play bf2, I have tried to play it in the past and ended up uninstalling it as it's buggy as heck. But I really would like to play it.
