Can't enable Punkbuster with new patch?

[Mustafa]

After doing a complete reinstall of BFV and then applying the new patch, I
am now unable to switch PB on under the multiplayer menu, anyone else have
this problem or know of a fix?

no, did not have that problem with the patch.
did you install PB when you install BFV ? Think it asks so if
you accidentally said no you can't turn it on. To install PB
after installing BF see below, it may also work for BFV:

to get the update to work use Webupdate:

copied from BF FAQ:
"When I first installed my BF1942 update patch, I chose the option that said
"Install PunkBuster Later" but now when I go back to re-run the patch update, it
won't let me install PunkBuster. How do I get PunkBuster installed?

The patch update actually does install PunkBuster when you re-run it and choose
"Install PunkBuster Now", the message that says "Patch not installed" at the end
is referring to the game patch (since you already installed it), not to
PunkBuster. After you re-run the patch update program, you just need to go into
the Multiplayer screen and check the PunkBuster checkbox to Enable PunkBuster
before trying to join any PunkBuster servers. "

Yes I installed punkbuster and I have the little option box in the
multiplayer screen but when I try to select it I get an error message that
says "Could not enable Punkbuster". I guess I'll try uninstalling BFV,
remove all the registry entries and then try reinstalling.
