PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB are no longer optional and will result in kicks from servers that are running the latest PB if they are disabled.

Version 1.724 of the PB Client for AA has been released to our PB Master Servers for auto-update and to our website download page.
This version addresses a hanging bug in 1.721 evident mainly on AA v2.6 and prior servers.
It also corrects a kick bug related to #80023 violations. We encourage admins to ignore #80023 violations from servers running PB Client version 1.721.

Wednesday 07.25.2007 [5:30PM] Version 1.721 of the PB Client for AA has been released to our PB Master Servers for auto-update and to our website download page.
Release Notes for PB Client v1.721:
the new PB services are no longer optional, see our PB Services FAQ (http://www.punkbuster.com/index.php?page=pbsvcfaq.php) for more info
the new PB services now support 64 bit flavors of Windows


For those of you who have taken and disabled the PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB services you may have issues after updating PB with getting kicked because these are no longer optional parts of the PB software

To resolve this issue do the following:
1) UPDATE PB

2) goto start>control panel>administrative tools>services

3) goto extended tab select PnkBstrA. Double click it to see properties you will see a drop down menu select Automatic. CLick APPLY. Then click START in the same box.

4) goto PnkBstrB Double click it to see properties you will see a drop down menu select Automatic. CLick APPLY. Then click START in the same box.

5) Go Play AA

Hope that this helps
