BF2 and Vista - inadequate O/S privelages.

Community Founder Joined: Jun 30, 2005 Posts: 2427

Most Battlefield 2 servers have Punkbuster enabled, and when you join with the Vista OS you will be kicked out of the game with a message saying "Punkbuster failed due to "inadequate O/S privelages."

There is a simple solution to this - right-click the BF2 icon, choose Properties, and then in the Compatibility tab check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." I have used this method and BF2 runs fine with Vista.

Hope this helps
