Arrr, i have a bone to pick with zone labs and their crappy software, zone alarm. I had it installed for a while and i decided to un install it because it was annoying me. Little did i know that it would take the whole tcp/ip framework with it when it left and no matter how hard i try i cannot reinstall it. There are also a number of other problems it caused, like, XP not booting at all. I eventually managed to sort out everything except the tcp/ip framework and i am now talking to you from a spare 160 gb IDE drive with vista installed on it and a backup of my 100 GB of downloaded files. Vista is shiny
