Hi, sorry if this has been brought up before. Ive just installed CoD and tried to run the multiplayer. I can join a game properly, and it all loads up fine, but then when i get to the game it quits after a few seconds and goes back to the main menu, only to come up with this message, "Server disconnected via PunkBuster (for 0 minutes) …RESTRICTION: Inadequate O/S privileges". Sorry if this is a common problem but i havent a clue what to do.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Jeff001 and welcome to G2G!

When playing the game make sure your logged in with an account that has administrative privileges.

Sorry, but how do i do that? The game is also second hand if that makes any sort of difference. Im useless when it comes to this kind of thing.

Go into user accounts in control panel.
At the bottom it should list the accounts, does yours say computer administrator?

[Jeff001]

Yes, yes it does.

Try creating another user account with administrative rights, then login with that and try the game.

Nope, does the same thing on new windows and all my existing windows to.

I've just found out that it works fine on the laptop, so im going to see what happens when i re-install it. Quick question though, how do i make sure that i dont delete my saved single player?

Ok, i re installed it and started an online game, this time I played for a couple of minutes and then in quit with the same message. Now its back to the way it was. Im starting to think that this cant be fixed.

Right, just to update you on the situation, I seem to be able to play online on another computer so I dont mind that it doesn't work here. It is a little strange that it works everywhere but on this computer but i guess its just one of those things. Cheers for your help anyway.
