right click the zone alarm icon in the system tray (near the clock). Select Restore Zone alarm control center.

On the left side of the screen, select overview. Then select the Preferences Tab. Part way down the page is a section called General. It has a check box Load Zone Alarm at Startup. Remove the check.



This is a better method than using the Task Manager. BTW



the Task Manger can be accessed by holding the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys down all at the same time. You can choose to 'end process' there. You will not find True Vector listed but rather vsmon.exe .



IN REPLY TO - i cannot find vsmon.exe



use the first method i explained

Getting the "True Vector" error when installing Zone Alarm?

Quote:

If you are having trouble updating or installing the Zone Alarm firewall, with error messages such as "Validation failed for..." any number of dlls, or that it can't shut down the True Vector Monitor, etc., here is the solution. First, if you were already using Zone Alarm, uninstall it. Second, there's a mess of files and folders you must delete. ZoneLabs gives lengthy instructions on how to do that, but to make it easy, I wrote a simple command file. Download and unzip the CMD file zfix.zip, then run it. It'll clean all traces of any old installation from your system, and you can now run a fresh installation with no problem.

To clarify why this happens, the explanation is simple. Uninstalling Zone Alarm in the normal fashion does not remove all the files and folders. When a new version of ZA is applied, XP prevents old files from being replaced by new files because of certificate verification mismatches. Thus, ALL old files have to be manually removed. This doesn't affect the computer or registry in any way. When the new ZA is installed, registry entries for the old installation are still valid as they simply point to newer versions of the exact same files in the exact same pathways.

WARNING: Zfix is an easily edited command file. If you downloaded it anywhere but here, you may want to verify it by right-clicking it, selecting the "Edit" option, and comparing it to this text:



rd /s /q C:\"Program Files"\"Zone Labs"

rd /s /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\zonelabs

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsconfig.xml

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsdata.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsdatant.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsinit.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsmonapi.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vspubapi.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsregexp.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsutil.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vswmi.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Vsxml.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlcomm.dll

del /q C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlcommdb.dll

end

Any other text should be removed.

Hope that solves the problem

1) Reboot into safe mode

2) Locate the " internet logs " folder in windows directory and delete it.

3) Locate the zonelabs folder in c:\WINDOWS\System32 and delete it.
