This error happens when you try to load the map “Castle”
-Either it loads and there are no textures and all models are flashing “Includes: Houses/dogs/players/guns/ect.” Also there are triangles everywhere “flying”
-Completely locks down computer forcing me the manually restart “press power button”

9.*Vista Punkbuster Fix*

One workaround I used before when I kept getting kicked for handshaking or something like that was.

users>"username">appdata>local>punkbuster file which contained three more sub directories
>BF2
>bf42
>COD4

I think the file was punk***a and punk***b in the directory had to enable running them as administrator and it quit giving me problems. I think these were service files but once enabled to run as admin they worked fine.
