Kelly, I have narrowed down the problem to IE and streaming content. I have had a strange problem in the past. At the top of ZA pro it has a window that shows up to 5 programs that are running and access the internet. Several times I have seen programs there but Not seen by the Task Manager, the one that occurred most often was IE, but also some others. The reason I noticed IE was because In Norton SystemWorks Pro the Web CleanUp will not run if IE is loaded. I had closed it 5 minutes earlier that time and it was not seen by the Task Manager had to reboot and today the Google Deskbar had "2" icons up there earlier. I ran a test first with IE loaded and utilizing Switch User, changing logons and checking the top of Zone Alarm there was no IE icon, the switching back the icon was there and the page was loaded. Next I ran several tests 4 different streaming providers that use Media Player and Quick Time. All results were the same, with wsmonline.com (eonstreams) on my side I had 2 IE icons one flashing (the stream), wlsam.com (limelight networks), www.kcmofm.com (adsertion), and www.kloufm.com (streamaudio) because of the limitation of only 5 there may have been more modules running that I could not see, I know with streamaudio there was a ccpm_exe module. With Quick Time There was a Solid Q and a flashing e for IE (as with all the other connections.) When I initialized Switch User, the audio stream continued with each different logon, and checking at the top of Zone Alarm each had a flashing e for IE and no other programs running. Oh, this time when I closed IE or QuicTime the program icon was gone from the top of ZA Pro 4-10 seconds after I closed the program. Again Thank YOU, for Your time and help!
