    Alright so a week ago I was running the 266 WHQL driver with the most recent Intel driver. The only PB game I could play with out getting kicked for Dissallowed program/driver was BC2. I just installed the 270 WHQL and I can now run BC2 and BF2. Strangely enough, I can not run COD4. I have updated PB and all the other stuff... Anyone know what to do?

    I have the same problem.
    I can run BC2 however i get kicked from cod4. not sure how that works since they both use punkbuster. I also tried contacting EvenBalance (makers of punkbuster) however that was a joke.

    EDIT: also i am running 270.

    weird, i thought the 270.61 drivers fixed this issue.
    when i run my R1 in discrete mode theres never a punkbuster issue.

    Sorry forgot to mention this is an R2. Not sure about OP though.

    EDIT: OP has an R2 as well (going off his signature).

    Hmm.. i'm still using 258.96 WHQL modded driver.

    And gonna get Bad Company 2 and heard there's issues with punkbuster and 258 driver. If I wanna play without getting kick out, i should set my GC to 335m permanent?
