Zone Alarm Pro Not Compatible
Jun 25, 2008
I did ask this question before, but was not provided with an clear reply. I had Zone Alarm Pro on my pc with Windows XP Home and it worked fine. I can not install it on my new pc despite asking for help from zone labs. They sent me two different exe files supposedly to work with Vista, but neither can be installed Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix for it. After several e mail exchanges with the Zonelab tech, I am still no further. I even tried the trial version ZoneAlarm security suite without success. Could it have something to do with the Norton 360 security suit? I would not like to delete Norton with out knowing if that is for sure the problem.

after having the nasty surprise that my (supposedly) compatible security software isn't compatible with Vista, I've beena dvised here to download something like AVG free anti virus. can do that, but AVG doesn't have a firewall. Not totally sure I want to just rely on the windows firewall, so is Zone Alarm truly compatible (as they claim)?

I am running Vista Home Premium 64 and there is no 64 bit version of Zone Alarm so I am depending upon the Windows Firewall instead. It may be a safer product than Zone Alarm. I have no way to know. But I miss Zone Alarm because I could always see when something was initially trying to send data out of my computer. With Zone Alarm during or directly after installing an app I would get a pop up message from ZA asking me if I wanted to let a specific app go out through the fire wall. Maybe I have something set up wrong with the Windows Firewall but I don't recollect that I have seen this with the WF. When I go to the WF window it says that it is turned on.
Plus I am confused how to understand the Exceptions list. I don't see all the applications that I have installed on my computer that I would normally see in ZA. In fact I don't see most of the apps, including some that I know go out to do autochecking for updates. Plus when I look in the exceptions list I see that Skype is unchecked but Skype does work. So what does the check mean?

My laptopīs internet explorer and firefox canīt connect to the internet due to firewall issues. Clicking on "Diagnose connection problems" I received the following message: "The following policy settings on this computer might be blocking the connection: Policy Provider: - Filter Name: VSWFP_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4" I uptaded my Windows vista recently, and found out that it has problems with Zone alarm. The real problem is that I removed and deleted zone alarm a long time ago but it is still in the windows security settings, and I cannot remove it.

Until recentlyI've been a Win98SE man and had Zone Alarm Free firewall installed. Never a problem in nearly 10 years. Although fairly comp literate I've never really "got to grips" with the workings of FWs. Recently bought a new computer and the OS is Windows Vista Home Premium---64 bit. If I choose to install Zone Alarm Free, (which I have currently), should I turn off the integrated Vista FW?
Is there a definitive answer? Further, ZA Free is currently installed and operational from "startup". I often find, when I investigate, that the Vista FW has turned itself "Off". Does this make sense? Lastly, regardless of which FW is on, my computer "fails" the "Shields Up!" "Ping Test". What can I do, if anything, to rectify this?

Been having issues with my lap top recently so on the advice of a bod on here I decided to get a better fire wall than Zone Alarm free. I am now using the free trial version of Zone Alarm Security Suite and will buy it if it is any good. I ran a virus and spyware scan and the virus scan came back with nothing and the spyware had 3 items. I then ran my free version of adaware and this found 74 items!! Is it best to keep using both these products together, or should I just find something better than ZA? At a loss as to what is the best thing to use. Running Vista 32 bit.

Without a doubt the worst windows version ever made! Microsoft were finally on track with windows XP pro but they had to go and screw it up by bringing us vista! Nothing works, nothing is compatible every program supposedly compatible seizes or shuts down! It is constantly vulnerable to viruses! There's no end to the complaints I have about this crappy version of windows! Wake up microsoft because you're just soft now and nothing micro about it!

When online in IE, bottom toolbar says Internet protected mode OFF, when I double click on that, it opens internet properties, where there is already a ck mark in the box that says ENABLE PROTECTION MODE (REQUIRES A RESTART OF IE), but I restart IE, still unprotected message. OK, then try rebooting pc...darn, still unprotected. Ok, uncheck the box, click apply, then ok, restart pc, then go into internet properties and ck the box all over again...and on and on and on... So, how exactly is this SUPPOSED to work ?

I'm experiencing a problem that I cannot solve even though some people have proposed solutions to it.
When I try to copy files from my NAS (Synology DS207+) to my hard drive over the network, this is what I have to answer to first:
I've tried all the suggested solutions by changing the intranet settings in internet options, done some registry hacks, but I can't get rid of this dialogue.
I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1 X64 and I'm beginning to believe that the issue has come after SP1.

Purchased a notebook yesterday that has Vista Home Premium pre-installed
1. Was not able get the time zone value to stick during setup, Had to reset after set up.
2. I successfully connected to the internet via dial-up, but I then changed the settings to not automatically dial. Now I cannot find the equivalent of "Network and dial-up connections". I want to create a shortcut on the desktop or a toolbar for each connection. How does one do this?
3. I have 2 desktop.ini icons on the desktop. Likely, because I told Vista to not hide any files.
4. How does find the equivalent of Windows Explorer?
5. Ditto for My Documents and My Computer.

Of all the programs I use in Vista, Adobe Acrobat Pro is the one that performs the worst. Frequently while editing a file the application window goes into the "twilight zone" with the entire appliction window becoming fuzzy and unresponsive sometimes for as long as 30 seconds. It does not completely hang, and eventually responds. This happens on at least 3 different machines. All have Quad Cores and with 4GB of memory and are otherwise very responsive machines. Is there an explantion for why Acrobat does this in Vista?

We are using Dell laptops while travelling or at field offices.
We have to reset the clock and time zone, every time when we get to new
locations. That is quite a hassle. Is there better ways to do this?

There is nothing in my "all programs" or program files folder to indicate it even exists.
Ive reinstalled it mulitple times with the same results.

I am trying to find an external hard disk drive that is fully compatible
with Vista x64.
I purchased a Western Digital My Book Premium II drive and it doesn't work
properly even though their web site states that is Vista compatible. I
contacted them and they fairly ridiculed me for assuming that that meant it
would be compatible with 64-bit Vista. I can still use the drive to
actually copy files to but there is no 64-bit driver so the bundled software
doesn't work and Vista keeps telling me that it needs to install a driver
for this device.
I contacted Seagate about their FreeAgent Pro product and they claim it
should work even though there is also no 64-bit driver for it. I don't
trust that statement after my experience with the WD drive.

I just downloaded Men of War and I go to install it but it says it's not compatible. I go to compatibility mode and that doesn't work either. Turns out it's only compatible with xp sp3 and vista 32 bit. But I have read posts of people saying they are playing on vista x64, but they don't say how.

I am in the process of replacing my current PC (with Windows XP) for a new upgraded PC with Windows Vista. My concern is that all my old software in my current PC (with XP) may not be compatible with Windows Vista. But I am told Microsoft has come out with Vista SP1 that should take care of all compatibility. Is this true? Has anyone had any problem with Windows Compatibility in installing old software from XP into Vista?

When downloading games, how can I tell if they're compatible with Vista 64-bit that I have on my new laptop? If I buy a new game and the box says it's compatible with Vista, does that also mean it's OK with the 64-bit version?

I have a Dell M6300 laptop running Vista Ultimate x86 that I want to ugprade to Ultimate x64. I currently use Embassy Trust Suite on this laptop (with Vista Ultimate x32) for hardware authentication. My HDD and system are locked by passwords which are both mapped to my fingerprint. The hardware authentication is the only functionality I use it for. The 2.1.2.25 version of Embassy Trust Suite is available from Dell for my model but it doesn't appear to be x64 compatible. It lists only Vista x86. Embassy has a full version on their website but it references the TPM driver from my manufacturer. Does anyone out there have an M6300 running an x64 version of Vista?

I installed Sandboxie and used it untill I realized it toggled Protected Mode to OFF. I posted on the Sandboxie forum my concerns about Protected Mode: OFF. I questioned why Sandboxie is not compatible with Vista defaults. I questioned why and how Sandboxie is able to toggle Vista defaults. I received several very ascertive and defensive comments from the site admin.i.e. I don't need Protected Mode > Protected Mode offers only a very limited Sandbox for IE7 >Sandboxie will protect IE7, my programs, my apps. and my HDD/Computer better than Protected Mode or anything else Vista/Microsoft has to offer. The application does run flawlessly and after hours of use I had no tracks, no temps, no reg. entries, nothing got to my HDD. Everything was dumped when I closed the program. So, in theory any malware was also dumped. The Author of Sandboxie and several reviews claim Sandboxie as the best first line of security defense. Defense against Zero Day attacks, Hacker Wednesday etc. etc. Nothing gets to my HDD, so no worries. I hope this post is not too long and your still with me. My concerns are Protected Mode:OFF and I don't know what else Sandboxie toggles away from Vista defaults.
