I have been having one heck of a time with updating Punk Buster. I have been kick from server for bad "handshake". I thought I updated PB from  evenbalance.com but got kicked about 45 minutes into the game. Anyone have any ideas? I am such a newbee when it comes to computers.

This is a very common issuie. Here is a direct link to the update http://evenbalance.com/index.php?page=support-waw.php I hope this helps.

STEVVY you probably have already tried this but if not copy the PB executable from evenbalance to the PB folder in your users/yourname/appdata/local/punkbuster/WAW/pb (I am using Win7 but Vista is the same) and run PB from there.  If you have already done this run PB again.  PB updates can take some time while in game.  This is the fastest way to update.   Hope it helps.

Thanks guys, I think I have already done this. I D/L PB.exe 5 times and tried to load it into my PB file. Had one heck of a time doing this. At first before I D/L the update I was getting kicked within 2 minutes and after the D/L it lasted about 45 minutes. Some improvement but I only tried once since then. Will try to play tonite and see what happens.
