Tried, updating my PB, reboot, slap the monitor and reinstall.

None of the above tries worked out :S

No luck with google either.

Any1 that might have the answer to my problem?

It's obvious! You ignored their queries! Either you have some firewall that blocks that or I have no idea.

There is a simple solution:

Play it on the 360.

Are you running Vista?
If yes, run the game as admin.
If no, go to http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=dl-cod4.php and update punkbuster manually.

I personally use the PBSetup found at the top which will update punkbuster for all games on your system nice and easy.

In the office, we needed to download punkbuster straight from their website, and manually update it, to get it to work right.

Other likely culprits have already been noted by other readers. Firewall. Privileges.

Exit the game, and download and save PBSetup.exe into your games /pb directory, and run it. Add the game you wish to update PB for, and press the update button. Now do it again, until it says there are no more updates.

Only problem I have with PB, is some ridiculous memory leak it causes on my system, so I cant let it run as a background task if I am not playing otherwise, after about an hour or two the PB process is eating up half my available memory.

fast way= right click on game and select run as Administrator. (this will only run as admin that one time)

long way=
1: create a shortcut
2: right click go to property's
3: under shortcut tab select Advanced
4: check Run as Administrator

I have found that taking STEAM offline made my PunkBuster problems go way.
