I have used Zone Alarm with XP, SP1 and SP2 with no
problems. You may want to visit the Zone Alarm site
and follow their instructions on uninstalling plus
deleting a number of files (approx 10) to eleminate
all traces of ZA. Then download a complete install.
Should work fine as this has been the way I have done
it and so far no problems.

All the best-----Fank
