G'day guys,
I'm running XP Pro with ZA Pro on my LAN, and recently ZA has begun to
forget some of the settings I've included, such as 'local zone settings' and
even some programs access rights. In the read me it mentions this may be a
problem and that the 'simplest' fix is to uninstall and reinstall, erasing
previous settings. I've tried this and it didn't fix it. So I upgraded to
the latest version and still no go. Anyone had the same probs and know of a
fix? Thanks
Rayxen

i've had the same problem, but to solve it i had to do this:
Step 1. Open the ZoneAlarm program, go to Configure panel, and make sure
the "Load At Startup" box is UNCHECKED.
- Step 2. Right-click on your taskbar, select "Toolbars," and make sure that
the ZoneAlarm deskband is UNCHECKED as well (if it is checked, click on it
to uncheck it).
- Step 3. Reboot. You should now have no ZoneAlarm processes running on your
system.
- Step 4. Open the Internet Logs directory (on Windows 95, 98, and ME this
will be "C:\Windows\Internet Logs", on Windows NT and 2000 it will be
C:\WINNT\Internet Logs), where you will find a file called "iamdb.rdb" and a
file named after your computer with the ".ldb" extension. Delete both of
these files.
- Step 5. Make sure you have emptied your Recycle Bin, then reboot your
system.
- Step 6. You will need to start ZoneAlarm manually. (Click "Start,"
"Programs," "Zone Labs," "ZoneAlarm"). ZoneAlarm will start up again with a
fresh database. Each program should ask for access again if the files were
properly deleted.
- Step 7. Be sure to RECHECK anything you unchecked earlier.

HTH,
