When I connect to the Originals server, I can get passed the loading but when I get to the Limbo screen everything freezes up. Then I get and ET.EXE error and the computer asks to send an error report. I can get into the Customs server fine. Just do not know what is going on with the Originals. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

Thank you for responding so quickly Delta. Here is what the applications log says:
"Faulting application et.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module pbcl.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00051533."
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, I don't see anything specifically addressing the hard drive.
Thanks again.

Ok let's try something. First, are you running the game with "run this prog as admin", "compatibility Win XP SP 3" and "disable desktop composition"? You find all those in the "Properties" in the "Compatibility" tab. Try this first. When you're done with this, try run the game and see what happens. Is it crashing again? is there a different message? etc. Next, try this if first step haven't done anything. Go in your Wolfenstein directory, there will be a folder called "pb". Delete it. Download this folder of pb (it's mine, no worry, it's all virus and shit free!) ---> PB folderUnpack it and place it at the same place you've deleted the previous folder. And give it at try again! The pbcl.dll you talking about is in this folder, maybe your folder of pb is not up to date and would need another "working" version. Alot of troubles happening now Wolf is not longer officialy supported by punkbuster team. :S That pb folder saved my cake back many times and I saved many cake [other people] back with it too EDIT: I lied... the pb folder contains cake.... try to not eat too much before holidays!

Thanks again for the quick response Delta.
I went online and looked up the corrupted pbcl.dll and they said to delete profiles and restart Wolf Et. I did and made a new profile. I was just on Originals with Amigo, so it seemed to work.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!
I always eat to much cake and pie and fudge and sweets. That must be why I am sugar intolerant now. (aka diabetic) only on pills though yeah baby

You are correct Oh Wise One. It seemed to be a temporary fix. I tried both of your ways and yielded the same result. I have also noticed that as long as there are not that many people on the server, ie <10 total, I can connect without any problems. When server is almost at max cap, I get the "et.exe" problem. I can go to other servers and get on, just not Originals.
Thank you for all of your help so far. This is the reason I like QAW. The players are good and the admins are very helpful.

Well... I hope you'll still like me after I said this... mmmm.... reinstall *whistling* Seriously, this is going to be faster to try this first. Just to make sure there is no corruption in your ET game. Dont forget to save your profiles and your GUID. And then uninstall, make sure you cleaned up everything and make a fresh install and just add back your own GUID and profiles and try again and let me know if it works. Of course, setting admin rights, compatibility win xp sp3 and disable desktop composition are recommended always with such old softwares!

I always appreciate help given, regardless of what is asked. I will try what you have suggested. Just to let you know, I have re-installed several times but never saving the profile or GUID. The problem still reared its ugly head. But like I said, you are doing your best to help me so I would never be upset with you. Besides, who ever gets upset with cake.

have you tried deleting your "etpub" folder and then joining QAW? there could be a corrupted file coming from another server that is messing everything up.

LOL technically if he already reinstalled then the etpub already got deleted just saying. xD Toruck, do you have a firewall or some sort of crap like this? Or if you go in Control panel and look at installed softwares.. do you have punkbuster installed? Maybe you could uninstall it and go on punkbuster.com and download and reinstall it. I know the game is no longer supported however the game is still making use of it... so maybe... I dont know... Just pointing as some idea that could help. :S Can you also watch your event log and see if it's the only error or major warning you have? Just wanna make sure this is not related to some part of your hardware or windows install.

Again thank you for all of your assistance, it is GREATLY APPRECIATED. I did what you requested and it failed the same way. What is the correlation between the amount of people on the server versus my being able to make it in successfully? My son and I did were able to get on this morning before trying the suggested fix; however, there was only no more than about 6 total on the server. He was goofing around with lurch and having no problems. He left we erased all of the Wolf Ets we could find, which was like 3 or 4, under different profiles. By the time we re-installed and copied the GUID and profile back to the directory, the server was close to maxxed out with players. We went into the server and it failed. My thought is that my computer can't handle all of the people, but I don't understand why. I will look at my installed software and see if PB is installed. Uninstalling and re-installing that one I will ponder for a little while. Thank you for your time and effort Delta. Blazer your thoughts are appreciated very much also. QAW is the best!!! Thank you.

Punkbuster stopped supporting enemy territory a while ago, but since some servers are still accepting PB as an anti-cheating option this may require an updated version according to the installed patch in the server. If I recall correctly you can play in QAW Customs cause PB is off there and it is ON in the originals one, I've been using the same ET Folder for quite a while now so I'm not sure if the version you installed is fully updated. Could you tell me from where you downloaded the ET installer?

this is where i got the punkbuster stuff when i was having issues with it but i recall it saying empty key i see your not posting that but heck anything is possible i also had to allow program (ET) to run / or disable any anti virus stuff for it to work on my machine ( as has been stated by others ) etkey.org/pages/enemy-territory-full-install-windows.phpnot sure if it matters but i am running under windows if your using linux you might have to see if they have something for that ..

Blazer, I can't tell you where it was downloaded. My son downloaded it and he doesn't remember. Here are the files that I used: Wolfet.exe et_patch_2_60.exe Wolfet_2_60b_custom.exe That is also the order that they are put on the machine. The OS on the machine is Windows XP/media center. It is a stock HP Pavilion machine no extra bells or whistles. I have been using the machine for a few years. I know Delta is looking for a hardware issue and the hard drive did become unusable for a time, but was able to restore it. However, I did lose the copy of WolfEt I had on the machine. Logs do not show any hardware malfunctions. Boca, I will try that and the PB reinstall through control panel that Delta suggested when I can. Christmas = treat cooking time for me. Thanks for everything guys!!!!

You dont need anymore those files. You can have a one install for all of em! You should use it! And yes you can download on the website of punkbuster the latest PB update. Maybe could help out install a recent version.

Can I just keep the key I have now? Save and copy back into etmain directory? Thank you for all of your help!!! Yes you can! He was just mentionning this because since game is no longer supported by PB, you can no longer retrieve a key directly while playing. YOu have to do it manually. And sadly, many people didn't know this and weren't able to play on most server so they were quiting the game again thinking it was no longer possible to play with it. Now they have made a single exe for the installation, more instructions are given to players including how to generate manually a key. Ofc, if you already have your old GUID, keep it!

Took awhile but I think I am up and running until I tried to get in the game and found out I was banned. Ok, figured out why banning forgot ETkey. However, I keep getting kicked for a PunkbstrB initialization error.
Thank you for your help!!!!!!!

Delta, correct it is a different message than before. Now it is saying I have an initialization error with Punkbstr B.
I made an administrator profile and am playing under that profile. That should work, shouldnt it??
Blazer I will try your latest fix from fearless assassins.
Ok, I tried the latest fix. One question, which punkbuster version should I be using?? (eg. Call of Duty, Battlefield)
Thank you for your continued support!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!
Upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. Re-installed the old versions of ET (running in admin mode). Went to Originals and was able to play with few players on server. Will check to see if I can connect with almost full server next.
This may not be the correct way but it seems to be working. I tried installing the one Blazer suggested but it would kick me because it couldnt verify PB.
Hope it survives the full server test.
Thank you again for everything, hope we chat about more pleasant things then computer problems.

Message understood Blazer. Already re-installed the 64 bit version and the old files. I will try the newer one you suggested later. I would like to play, so I am good for now. Thank you!!!!
I also have 4 gigs of ram coming, max of for the system, because things are moving a little slow. But again, I am blessed that I have a resource to fall back on in times of trouble.
Thank you,
Torbuck
