Is he the only user on the computer running Vista?

If so, is he logged in as an Administrator or normal user?

I'm running Vista myself and have no problems, as I log in as an Administrator, however some people have stated that normal users under Vista can't play AA because all the 'allowed' settings aren't setup (AA, pb, Firewall, etc).

i am having no problems with running AA and using vista, no that i have sorted out my regname file everything is working fine and my new computer is handling AA quite nicely as long as he is administrator he should have no problems and as long as pnkbstrb.exe is allowed through the firewall it should be fine.

if ur getting the pnkbstrA.exe or B.exe kick notice, u need to get a file called pbsvc.exe, And run the Test. It should come back that those two failed... Reinstall PB and it should work, Failing that, contact AAO.

Here is a link: http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=74794

Its under example 21, i think. But get the PBSVC.exe and run that first....

Get back to me let me know if it works.. so i can post this as a Sticky.
