    Same here. 3 different pro copies running 24/7. The only problems I have it a blue screen caused by their driver when I plug in my pocket PC. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

      Zone Alarm is really pissing me off. I only use it once in a while but it locked up all my ports so I can't running anything on my network or the internet without ZA running. Does anyone else have this problem? -:suss:Matt Newman:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179:BestSnowman Frankly AOL should stick to what it does best: Fooling millions of americans into believing that it, AOL, is the web. -Paul Watson

      I have had hassles also with ZA, and have found that uninstalling it then reinstalling it helped a lot. I realise that is illogical. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

        At work one computer already have this problem, and it's because it ran an evaluation copy that have expired. The only thing we have to do, is uninstalling it.

          That is strange. I can stop my zone alarm and it doesn't lock anything. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document?

              I had that happen once. And I had set and forgoten the password for ZA so I couldn't disable it or anything. Some file they installed in the windows/system directory was misbehaving. Once I deleted that file all was well. Can't remember what the hell it was though. Sorry. Josh Knox that-guy.net

                    What is your configuration? It should work well and you can disable it w/o it affecting the network. It has worked for me and has been moderately helpful. It showed my ISP has been sending packets to my ports to check if I have any webserver running...;) ;) Atul 100.13714 netdiva

                            in german they are called schlump - schlümpfe (smurf - smurfes) yep.. now this whole joke doesn't work here... damnit.. bernhard

                            Sometimes I think the surest sign for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that none of them ever tried to contact us.
