PB Fix: "You need to have Punkbuster installed.."

[Ne0n]

This fix is for those who have tried everything, updating PB manually, starting service etc, but still ending up with the message: "You need to have Punkbuster installed and running".

The fix:
- Start BF BC2, go to Options>Settings and under "Gameplay", tick the "ALLOW PUNKBUSTER".
- Join a server and play!

What's odd, is that I've never unticked that option after installing BC2, still it was unticked.

Anyways, hope this helps some of you guys!
