*Edit: Also i am useing Windows XP

*edit2: i found a work around. just create 2 different batch files. 1 to start and 1 to stopCode: [Select]@echo off
:: set punkbuster services to auto
sc config PnkBstrA binpath= "c:\windows\system32\PnkBstrA.exe" start= "auto"
sc config PnkBstrB binpath= "c:\windows\system32\PnkBstrB.exe" start= "auto"

:: start the punkbuster services
sc start PnkBstrA
sc start PnkBstrB

:: start BF1942
start /wait "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" /restart 1

:: after BF closes stop punkbuster services
sc stop PnkBstrA
sc stop PnkBstrB

:: RESET status of punkbuster services to disabled
sc config PnkBstrA binpath= "c:\windows\system32\PnkBstrA.exe" start= "disabled"
sc config PnkBstrB binpath= "c:\windows\system32\PnkBstrB.exe" start= "disabled"

Logically, there doesn't seem to be a problem with your code. Why doesn't the game start? Any error messages? Are you sure /restart 1 is correct?

restart 1 is a command line so it DOESNT show the movies in the begining. It says its not RIGHT. should it be /+restart 1 since it was + for the command?
Also i says it couldnt start pb for some reasonQuote

So the bottom line is nothing in the batch file works. Change the @echo off to @echo on in your batch file. That may give you some clues what's wrong or post the console list so we can see what's going on.

Did you need to modify your firewall to let Punkbuster through?
