On some computers, even turning off AA won't fully work. If at some point I ALT+TAB to desktop and go back to the game, my next PBSS will become black (B1)

BF2 + Vista x64 SP2 + 8800GT.

What we have done in the past is kick them with a message to fix it and when they come back they ask how, so we tell them. 99% of them fix it by turning off AA.

In 1.5b3 add new feature: alt+tab(ctrl+esc, ctrl+alt+del) = crash game. Nobody will use it.

Black screenshots are not really a problem of EA/Dice. Its a problem of Evenbalance.
You can get your screenshots to work if you take off the AntiAlias in the video settings.

Anyways server admins shouldn't ban you for that..just find better managed servers.

Same applies for all of my clanmates, some of them run Vista (64bit) and Win7 (64bit).
you and you clan mates are the lucky ones, most vista pbss will come back black, after looking into it I found that if you minimize and come back into the game the rest of the pbss will be blaclalalalail you restart your bf2.

for nVidia users If you disable ingame AA, then using the programme nHancer to force AA & AF settings, with the setting "negative LOD BIAS" enabled - PB screenshots will work fine..

Ctrl+pasted screens also come out black for me. Annoying since sometimes I'd like to take screens of scoreboards. Only way for me to screen apart from with the built in bf2 screens (which don't work when you're typing or not actually playing) is fraps, which now gets you kicked by punkbuster.

Update your Fraps to the latest, and PB won't kick you anymore.
