ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
About a week ago, I checked to see if there was a new release of ZoneAlarm Pro v5. There was then available v50.590.043, which is newer than the previous v50.590.015. However, I also noticed that the version being offered kept switching back and forth between the new v50.590.043 and the previous v50.590.015. I was able to download and test ZoneAlarm Pro v50.590.043. It was not much better than the previous v50,590.015. v50.590.043 locked up my computer when I attempted to go out on the Internet in the same odd manner that v50.590.015 did, i.e., my computer did not freeze, but it would not accept any commands. I had to cut off the power to shut down my computer. I subsequently found the following strange message from ZoneAlarm Pro "TrueVector Service" 3 times in the Windows XP Pro Application Event Viewer: "Event Type: Error Event Source: TrueVector Service Event Category: None Event ID: 5003 Date: 7/3/2004 Time: 1:00:35 AM User: N/A Computer: MYCOMPUTER Description: TrueVector driver: Driver install or load failu MarkNTDeviceDriver. Win32 error: Access is denied." I have no idea what MarkNTDeviceDriver is. I got no hits when I tried searching for anything with this name as having ever been installed on my computer. ZoneAlarm Pro v5 tries to interface with the virus scanners of other vendors. I am running McAfee VirusScan v8.0, which is a stand alone virus scanner. Unlike some versions of McAfee VirusScan, it does not come bundled with an optional firewall of its own. I tried turning off the interface with McAfee VirusScan in ZoneAlarm Pro v50.590.043, but I still got the same bad results. Bottom line: I had to uninstall ZoneAlarm Pro v50.590.043, and reinstall my old ZoneAlarm Pro v4.5.594.000, and then reload all of my previous settings. All this appeared to work OK, but I still hung trying to get out on the Internet. So I then used the Windows XP System Restore function to get back to the System Restore checkpoint that I took immediately before I embarked on my venture to install and test the "new" ZoneAlarm Pro v50.590.043. I again restored my previous settings for ZoneAlarm Pro v4.5.594 that I also backed up before embarking on this venture. Finally, I was back to normal after wasting about 2 hours on this ZoneAlarm Pro v5 beta testing venture. ZoneAlarm Pro used to be a reliable stable product. But the first two v50 releases have been failed beta test versions as far as I am concerned. What really irks me is that this is not being marketed as a best test version. Apparently, it works for some prople but not others. Richard A. Landkamer "Don MI " wrote in message ... "Joan Archer" wrote in message ...

It did for you, it did not for me. Don Addition. Errors can be classified is several ways such as Critical, Major or Minor. Most utilities such as chkdsk or Norton Disk Doctor will find the Critical and Major errors. A utilities ability to find minor errors is a function of the program criteria and the programmer. I would expect a program like Norton Disk Doctor to find more minor errors than a Windows utility like chkdsk. Minor errors are those that do not effect system performance. Don

ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
About a week ago I was updating an ex-pat's machine in France. I first
looked at her machine last year - shortly before Blaster - when she had no firewall, no AV, no SP1 patches. Her French Wanadoo software doesn't allow ICF. I installed ZA then for the simple interface. After removing a number of viruses offline (so much for NTFS). So this year I took a cd of updates with me - including ZA 50.590.015. I installed 15 SP2 patches and updated ZA - which promptly informed me an update was available - 50.590.043 - so I installed that too. Then she couldn't send e-mails so I restored to before 50.590.015. Then I checked for updates again and it offered 50.590.015. Installed that and checked again and got the *your security is up-to-date* message. Checked the installed version - definately 50.590.015. The e-mail problem was solved by removing all from the ZA *Programs* list. Since coming back she's e-mailed me asking if she should install the update it's offering her - 50.590.043.

ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
Well you without problems are lucky. I have had many problems with it and
was advised by ZA's tech support to go back to version 4. It caused problems with Norton's email protection, an HP printer driver, chkdsk, and who knows what else. I know on 3 of my machines, all running either XPP or XP Home I had identical problems. So those who have experienced no problems are lucky. Sorry if these things have been said before but I can't seem to find the start of this thread to follow it sequentially. So if it hadn't been said I wanted to make sure others were aware of these downfalls with version 5. "FrankV" wrote in message ... Latest ZA Pro version 5.0.590.043 works as it should. I have no problem. Frank "Interrogative" wrote in message ... "Richard Urban" wrote in message ... Suggest you consider thoroughly before you install this. There are many reports about problems. I have had 3-4 myself and have gone back to ver 4.5.594.000. 1. Doesn't remember which tab you were in when you X out of the window. Yes it does. They actually have preset that it goes back to the one window, when I reported that it wasnt working right. 2. Downloading becomes iffy! Seems to interfere with the Microsoft download window. Both 5.x releases still interfere with things badly and they havent properly fixed it yet. Unable to use any 5.x version here and I paid for it!
