america s army punkbuster vista

Hi,
I encounter some troubles trying to play with america's army. Game installation is fine, Punkbuster update run well, but when I try to connect to a game server I was kick for "Game Hook" ? Sometime I've got a failed to connect to MSB server just before this infamous kick ;-)
So I suppose the raison is coming from : - Security model of Vista - or Punkbuster compatibility (I've already post a support request to evenbalance. thx).
Software configuration :
Windows Vista Home Premium Beta 2 Buid 5384 America's Army 2.6 Punkbuster Client version v1.240 A1366
Internet Connection DSL > 784Kbits
Hardware configuration Dell Dimension 8300 P IV 3 GHz 1.5 Gbits RAM 120 Gbits HD FX 5200 128 Mo RAM NVidia Video card

I appreciate any suggestion. Thx and best regards. xavier

Yes, it's a known problem. It's something that Punkbuster is going to have to fix. It's because the application isn't running with full admin rights, with the security model.
Of course, there was one game that worked with Punkbuster... I think it was CS:S.
