According to EvenBalance, you are required to log in as administrator (as THEY say - but not true, just an easy fix) better to set up the account you are using in Windows to have the appropriate permissions for your CoD directory. Playing a client/server game like CoD as admin is dangerous as hell, as 1 buffer overflow on the wrong server and your entire computer is compromised.

PB may be trying to write to a file, and the account you are logged in as in Windows cannot write to it.

Again - I am totally guessing. Just something to try.

Download and run this file from any location, it will check for adware that stops you from being able to play on PB servers. The VX2 adware edits your user rights when it infects your computer, and many programs do not repair this when they remove it.

http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/VX2Finder(126).exe

Click the "Find VX2.betterinternet info" button to make sure that you don't have this adware. If there are no files listed, go on to the last step. If you find the adware files, (it is usually 3 random named dll files) Select all the files found.

Press 'Delete These Files'. The program will delete all files but one that will be deleted on reboot. Allow program to reboot. Once Restarted:

* Press 'Guardian.reg'.
* Press 'User Agent'.
* Press 'Restore Policy'.

Clicking on "find vx2.BetterInternet info" again should show all fields blank.
If you have no adware files, just click on the "Restore Policy" Button
