I have windows Xp2 installed. I installed zone alarm & after several problems
uninstalled it , now at start up the Firewall is switched off. I have to go
to the control panel to access the fireall to switch it on , any suggestions
on how to fix this keep it simple & yes i know how stupid i was trying to run
2 firewalls
 
Zone Alarm is lacking in its' ability to completely uninstall. I suspect,
depending on how you removed it, that some facets of the app are still on
your machine, i.e. True Vector. Having Zone Alarm active (well, ZA Pro, I
know) will disable the Windows firewall. Suggest you go to the Zone Labs
site for uninstall info for the particular version you were using. You can
still get a copy of the last free jv16 Power Tools....I think it was version
1.3.....it does a good job of removing the detritus left behind in your
registry of since removed programs. A manual cleaning of the "leftovers" is
best, but, not for someone that is not intimately familiar with editing the
Registry. jv16 makes a backup when cleaning the Reg, so it is easy to
recover if the wrong item is removed. Hope this helps your issue.
