Zonealarm problem with latest version?

After downloading and installing the latest free version of Zonealarm firewall, my CD based game program not only will not run, but shuts the computer down and starts an automatic re-boot. When I submitted the crash report to Microsoft, the response was that the latest release of Zonealarm had a bug and that they were working on the problem. ANother user had a problem where he could not even access his CD drive. Are others having this problem? How do I find out when the problem is fixed? Thanks.

 

I should have given more info upon reading the instructions. (sorry I'm new here)
My machine is an HP paviliion 510c desktop with read/write CRDOM. Running windows XP-home version. ZoneAlarm version:5.5.062.000
The computer game is starcraft that causes the computer to crash. If I manually shutdown Zonealarm, the game runs fine. Except next time I boot up, I still get the message that the computer has just recovered from a serious error. Thanks

 

Hi,the last real dependable version of zonealarm free is version 4.5.594.000. Might be wise to run that version.
We`ve had this version on our computer for 4 months and it works great.Always gives 100% true stealth rating on gibson research firewall testing site,and other testing sites also.

 

Thanks, that might be the easiest fix. Nice smiley face.

I'm assuming Raidmax just reverted to the old ZA -but you might want to PM him -you also might wanna try a ZA specific forum for any fixes.
