Below is a copy of my trouble ticket I sent to EA for constantly being kicked for the infamous "Disallowed driver":

02/06/2010 13:22:24 - "Adam D"  
Note #4: The latest Steam update changed its in-game overlay routine, which leads to this kick. We are currently working on adapting our checks for this. At this time you will need to disable the "Steam Community In-game" to play on PunkBuster enabled servers.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
02/05/2010 12:21:31 - "Hawkeye*BK*"
Note #3: I will Try the STEAM idea, as I don't use any of the others...however, I am an administrator for a gaming community, if I disable STEAM in game Chat, I cannot be notified by my fello teamates of problems and issues....are you going to have a fix to allow for STEAM to be running?

Note #2: This kick is usually caused by one of the following progams running. Disabling them should stop the kick.

Ventrilo Chat Overlay
Team Speak Overlay
DxTweaker
ATI Tray Tools (depends on version)
Game Accelerator (uninstall, then reboot)
Mumble Overlay
EVGA Precision tool

In case you run Steam, please do the following:

* Open Steam
* Go to File-Settings
* Go to the tab in-game
* Uncheck the "Enable Steam Community In-Game" checkbox
* Press OK
* Restart Steam

If you do not have any of these programs running, open this ticket back up and state what you do have running, especially anything that might be similar to the above.

Note #1: Ticket submitted to support staff.


I'm not sure if anyone wants to make this a "Sticky" not to be confused with "Stinky"...lol...or just leave it as a post...I will update it later if I get more information. However, I have closed STEAM and/or Shut down what he suggested in STEAM. Everything seems to be working fine....

I think most people can confirm it isn't just Steam causing the issues.  I had it happen this morning? i think and all I had running was cod, ts, xfire and riva tuner.  I am guessing it was xfire as I had it happen once before with the xfire overlay running.

Also, If I didn't mention it before, make sure you update Punk Buster, found Here:

Click on "for all windows games" if you are running windows..or what ever you're running...

I must admit...I don't like Punk Buster....but that's just my opinion....lol

Xfire does it to me only when it's perfect conditions...end of map and a friend notice or something like that. When I play PBBans enabled servers I see people getting permanent bans for it. So much for favorite servers if they are streaming with PBBans. Most of those people will think they did something wrong and will never be un-banned.

Here's my location of PunkBuster update files C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty - World at War\pb\PB_Update. I added the folder PB_Update to the pb folder and dropped the update exe into it. I launch the file from there and it finds and updates PB lickety split.
