Heather, I had posted about having problems with the 5.1.011.000
version relating to a file "VSDATA95.VXD". Mart mentioned ZoneAlarm
using that file. I had other problems with a sound card driver (not
related to ZA - I don't think). Disabled the sound card driver - not
needed anyway. Sound is good without it. Uninstalled ZA Pro and
reinstalled it and have nothing but good things to say about it.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Mart. I do like to keep on top of
problems with ZA.....coz they don't give a darn, grin!! Took Heirloom and I
a long time to get them to admit version 3.xxx messed up Auto Restore points
some 2 years ago. Took them another year to fix it.

Things like you describe are usually not attributable to the source of the
problem....and they don't seem to start immediately, do they.

I will keep an eye out for any other posts re problems on other groups and I
will continue to stay at least 2 back of the *latest and greatest* version
of ZAPro. I am at 4.5.538 and plan on staying there for a year or so, grin.

Cheers....Heather

Heather, as you are keeping tabs on ZA - and for the ZA "problems"
record -
you may remember, I (clean) installed the 'free' version of 5.1.011 on my
XP
box when it very first came out at the end of July. However, several days
later, I began to get frequent 'Proxy Desktop' errors, and other weird
'happenings' (couldn't open Explorer, problems shutting down, etc.). I
didn't associate ZA to the problems in spite of a great deal of
unproductive
web searches.

Eventually I noticed a little ZA warning window fly past on my screen,
advising of an issue (can't remember the exact wording) with their
ZATrueVector Security engine - whatever that is g AND I had also noticed
the PC taking longer and longer to boot. So I took that warning box as an
opportunity to uninstall ZA.

Bingo! PC booted normally, 'Proxy Desktop', Explorer and shut down
issues
cleared up immediately. Left it for a few days, re-installed the same free
version of ZA and all has remained stable for the past three weeks or so.

The moral of the story being - if you 'suspect' ZA of causing an issue,
uninstall it an see if things improve - then re-install and see if the
problem stays away g No idea what was happening but this 'experience'
*might* be useful to someone. I've put SP2 on since (still running ZA and
all remains well). When it works, ZA works good!!

Works perfectly here and the Win Me box is creating system restore
checkpoints like clockwork. :-) Oh, and ZAPro 5.1.011 is causing no
problems here either on the three XP boxes on which I have it also
installed.

DON'T TOUCH IT!! Sheesh!!

Seriously, I have seen nothing good about version 5 at all. Seems to
cause problems (what else is new). And I assume these people are XP
users.
