It used to be that when you called tech support about a software problem
(like your machine freezing up), the most popular advice given was to hunt
down the latest video & audio drivers. Actually not bad advice, but it was
usually the last resort of a frustrated technician. Now, they blame
ZoneAlarm for every damned thing. About a month ago, messages I was posting
here weren't appearing for hours, if at all. Usually, it's a matter of
seconds. I called Frontier to report *their* problem. The guy told me to try
shutting down ZoneAlarm. When I asked how it could be that I'd be having
this problem just now, when I'd been running ZA for years, he was at a loss
to explain. Of course, it had nothing to do with ZA, but I gave up on the
guy, and the next day, "my problem" somehow was fixed.

The battery in my truck is getting a bit tired after 3 years, and my first
thought was that it's about time. However, it turns out that the problem
lies with ZoneAlarm.


LOL!
