Hello i have the pre beta version of windows 7 running and i decided to play COD 4 on it, but i am having dificulties, punkbuster keeps kicking me out of the servers, normally it is 3 codes, it says kicked by unknown windows API funtion 131134, 131134 and 131136, i don?t know what to do, when i deactivate PB it works fine butwith that i will not have a lot of choice in servers.

I tried uninstalling the game, running antivirus and Windows defender, also i turned all the software for not working in compability mode as i saw in some forums. None of this worked. I also logged a ticket in the PB site but they don?t give support to this version of Windows 7.

BTW is anyone playing in Windows 7?

Thanks

Um....why?

Windows 7 is a pre-beta....it probably doesn't evebeginb> to contain all the API's to do ANY of this.

This is why they don't like to pre-release things.

Do you have Windows Vista installed too? You could use that..

You're basically out of luck: PunkBuster tries to check various places in the Windows DLLs to verify that there is no 'modifications' in your Windows DLLs.

These checks are very precise and very sensitive to the version of the OS.

That will be solved when the PunkBuster software will be updated to support Windows 7 but there is very very very very little chance that PB will be updated to work with an alpha snapshot of Windows 7.

I am running windows 7, same version 64 bit. I can't even seem to get CoD4 to load... everything else works like a charm though.

Any ideas???

It says the application failed to initialize properly.

As mentioned earlier, try using a stable OS.

These pricks have diminished the purpose of a pre-beta... it's for testing purposes, not playing games. If you said, "I want to see CoD4 works on Windows 7" that would be a moderately adequate reason for doing so, but saying "I want to play CoD4 on Windows 7" is like making a baby work. Point is, it's not prepared for Windows 7, not yet, so stick to Windows Vista until then.

If we wanted to use a "stable"OS we could be using our "Stable" versions of Vista, get out of here if you are not going to help troll...

Stop acting like a little brat.

The purpose of the PDC builds of Windows 7 is for the software developers to start making drivers and applications. Not for little kids playing games.

I'm quite glad some people understand this!

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.

      Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
