- thanks for all your help Mumble but i found the problem. It was the latest version of Threatfire that was blocking the connection and causing PB to come up with the error.

- Hi Henry,
this is a Punkbuster issue, you may get help in the forums at http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=support.php
This has happened to several users before (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Windows+API+Function+131134&btnG=Google+Search ), one time it was a DVD copy protection called 'Alpha-DVD', then other programs running and so on. Hi Henry2007,
Thanks for posing on Microsoft Answers forum.
The cause for the issue is :
a) The DVD copy protection "Alpha-DVD"
b) software named “Blink” which is installed on the computer.
Try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Scenario 1:
If you have recently watched a DVD on your computer that installed this copy protection, I would suggest you to uninstall it first.
Please use the following tool to remove the software
http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/...otkit/download/Scenario 2:
If you have Blink installed on the computer, then you can try the following steps:- In Blink go to View>Options...
- Click the Application Protection tab.
- Select Monitor and log only.
- Reboot (this is required).
- Turn off Application Protection.
NOTE: If this error occurs in Call of Duty 4 Steam/Valve version, disabling steam community fix might as well work in this scenario.
I would suggest you to disable steam community by following the below mentioned steps:
1. Right clicking the steam icon in the bottom right hand corner.
2. Click settings.
3. Go to the tab in-game.
4. Uncheck the box Enable Steam Community In-game.
5. Hit ok.
Let me know if the issue is fixed.Regards,

- I have also had this problem for about a week now. The only thing is i have recently rebuilt my machine and i don't have Blink or Alpha-DVD installed. I also downloaded and ran the sophos anit-rootkit and found nothing. If you have any other ideas please let me know.
- Make sure that PnkBstrA.exe and PnkBstrB.exe can pass through your firewall.
Also several 3rd party processes (like ituneshelper.exe, nvvsvc.exe, ...) were reported to cause problems.
- I allowed them through and closed the 3rd party processes but still no luck. I'm starting to think my computer hates me. Thanks for your help.
- Do you have the latest version of Punkbuster installed?
- I'm pretty sure i do but how would i check? I've already run the manual update for BF2 (the game i am trying to play).
- Use the punkbuster support forum or do a google search.
As i said i have a simlar problem, but I didn't care much about it because only a few AA3 servers are using punkbuster.
So I can't really help you, sorry. - Use the utility to update your PB

Follow the instructions - thanks for all your help Mumble but i found the problem. It was the latest version of Threatfire that was blocking the connection and causing PB to come up with the error.

- I too have a problem with the unknown Windows API Function 131134 error. this is in BF2142. I don't have either "Alpha-DVD" or “Blink”. I have updated PB, even uninstalled and reinstalled and ran the update. I disabled my Threatfire thinking maybe what Jordan indicated helped would help me as well. Still nothing. About a minute into the game I get kicked with the same 131134 error.
This occurred on my home and office PC's right after I installed AA3. I have since uninstalled AA3, but if it was the culprit it left some nugget behind.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thank you
