So this was nearly a game breaker for me. Every few days Punkbuster just starts kicking from every server. However through process of elimination I worked out how to fix it. I've no idea why PB gets its knickers in a twist every few days but at least here are the steps I follow every time now.

1) Uninstall Punkbuster services using install programs in the control panel
2) open PBsetup and remove RO2
3) Close PBsetup
4) Re-open PBsetup add RO2 and then press check for updates
5) Restart PC (you need to do this or PBsvc will not work... at least not for me)
6) Once PC restarted run PBsvc and follow through the PB steps

And voila you're back in business. I'm running W7 64bit. **** knows why PB goes awol but here's a solution that at least works for me. Good luck and hopefully it will help someone else.
