Whats with punkbuster??? It keeps kicking me. Actually I didn't have this problem before, only my brother got kicked when he played. Now I get kicked as well. I don't cheat or anything, I don't have enough skillz to do that:P I assumed punkbuster didn't like my brother but now I get kicked too which is really gay.

PunkBuster is a computer program, it only does things because a certain combination happened. If I were to guess, it detects the Cheats that your brother has on the computer and therefor assumes that you are using them as well
PS if you need to cheat, perhaps you should try an easier game like solitaire

What does PB say when you get kicked? Tell us how you installed it (with the correct key or not).

No, my brother has no skillz, he's 11 and knows nothing of computers. The screen freezes, and I get returned to the server list. When the server list pops up, a box with "Punkbuster" at the top appears but no message. Hey nnstep, nice avatar.

Firstly, you're not mentioning in which game you're experiencing this game.
Anyways, I'd suggest you to uninstall punkbuster & install & update it with the developers' ( EvenBalance ) tool.
Here's the tool:

Can you get us a screen shot? Did you enable PB?

Learn how to describe your problems before asking for help ;)

Oops, okay I play BF2142. I'll take a screenshot as soon as I can (which might not be today). Anyways, the dialouge box with "punkbuster" written has no text other than "punkbuster". And no duh punkbuster is enabled. I did update it. Hmmm...

That is very funny. I would backup the patches and reinstall the game.
Or
You might want to go to the clan threads, or use google to see if anyone else is getting the problem. They might have found the answer to the problem.
I had the same issue with my Nvidia Motherboard...
I suggest that you update your drivers for all your components on your system.
Only when I updated my drivers I stopped getting kicked.
