There has been an ongoing Punkbuster problem for many (since about 1 Aug),
not just Vista. If you get the error message
Problems with Server Communications and disconnected after 0 Mins with
PnkbstrA.exe
Download the file pbsvc.exe from

http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Run the program, it may ask to remove old Punkbuster, if so let it and run
the program again to manually install latest.

At the end, there is a neat Punkbuster checking utility and it makes sure
everything is working fine

i have been having similar problems, using the punkbuster soft ware is a
really good start, and most ppl will find that it has fixed their issue...but
mine is a little more complex. i have tracked the issue with pnkbstrb.exe to
the system regestry, and the fact that punkbuster when applying the regestry
keys for pnkbstra and b cant right the regestry info to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root" because windows blockes
ant attemp to right to this path, any help on how to get around this?

Punkbuster is installed with the game, however you might need it updating so
do this...
run the punkbuster setup from here
