Battlefield 2142 Vista / Punkbuster Disconnects

If your Battlefield game quits almost instantly under vista and you see the following message.

RESTRICTION: Inadequate O/S Privileges

This means you must start Battlefield 2142 as Administrator. There are two ways to do this.

1. Right click on the icon and select “Run as Administrator”
2. Right click on the icon and select “Properties”. Select the “Compatibility” tab and check the “Run this program as an administrator” check box. Now you can click the icon normally.

This fix is needed in all versions up to 1.20 which is the latest when this was written.
