Even when I do into Multiplayer options and turn it back on, ity doesn't actually turn on! The only way I can get PB to work is to restore back a to the point before they, in their infinite wisdom, chose to inflict their new system upon me! I have tried (with Rockape's help) to reinstall PB, no good, get the error 'floating point not installed' and when I do get into a game, runs like a SOB and loads of error messages 'CRITICAL ERROR: cannot load C:program files/activisioncall of duty 4...../pb/pbcls.dll Totally at a loss, any ideas anyone? Real pain in the ass having to carry out a restore to get an hour or so game time before it all kicks off again!!! ps have a couple of screen grabs but can't remember how to upload here...DOH!!!

I have bought machines with trials pre-installed and the first job on powering them up was to remove the software. ISPs and anyone else are in no position to dictate what AV program one uses and there are some much superior alternatives available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
