ZAPro 5.1.011

Okay, I have waited long enough. Is anyone having any issues with the
newest version of ZAPro??? Likes? Dislikes?
Heirloom, old and may be time

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.

Well I don't have any problems with it, as you know I'm running XP but the
latest upgrade works fine. I did have issue with the one before not being
able to run checkdisk but that was resolved with this new version and I
now have SP2 on here and still no problems.

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.

Joan,

ZA Pro 5.1.011 working without problem here also on both my old Win Me box
(checkpoints being created like clockwork) and three PCs running XP Pro
and also apparently giving no problem on the laptop either (not that I've
seen my laptop now for a month).

Same here Mike, just went to SR to check and have regular system ones from
when I installed SP2 on the 25th August plus one when I got the new
version of MBSA.

You should see your laptop again soon I guess, and I see you have managed
to sort out you problems with that stubborn machine g

Joan,

Yep, Maxtor's utility managed to find and fix a couple of problems on one
of the two hard disks on this PC that were causing a range of problem
including less obvious problems such as the audio accompaniment (clicks
and squeals) when copying files from this PC over the LAN to another PC.

OK.......I just saw a few people say (on another group) that it was causing
problems and they were reverting back to the 4.5 version. I guess you don't
hear the good stuff on these ng's......only the bad. g

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.

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!!
