    I know Dice somewhat predicted this message, but I wanted to post Prothesys' answer to Dice's issue in theory that it will help:

    Prothesys wrote:Hi guys.

    Could those of you who are experiencing blue screens or system hangs please try uninstalling any applications that load drivers for virtual devices, e.g. Daemon Tools and the like? It is possible that the PunkBuster driver could be conflicting with a driver you have loaded on your system, and virtual devices like a virtual hard drive or dvd-rom are notorious for causing problems like this.

    Thanks

    Haven't used Daemon tools on this rig, or anything for virtual drives for that matter. *Monacle frown*

    The only other answer I could find for you was to uninstall and reinstall the program. It was mentioned that there have been some errors where the patch did not fully or properly install which has resulted in some issues.

    Course, you could go with the defaults as well, like updating APB's punkbuster and your drivers, but I am sure you did that by now.
