Hi Marti,
Just another response FYI. I waited through the previous problems and finally took the plunge today and installed ZA 5.1 (free). I have had to roll back to my previous installation. I had no problems with the initial upgrade and everything looked OK. I immediately checked for problems with my Norton NIS 2003 and found it unchanged but once I tried to sign in to MSN Messenger or retrieve mail from my Hotmail accounts or Yahoo Mail I had problems. Further issues arose with failure to load Web pages in both IE6 and Firefox. I got many "Page Cannot Be Displayed" and "No Data" messages when clicking on bookmarks and failure to load web pages when typing into the address bar. Disabling ZA immediately fixed the problems so I double checked the permissions and found every program in my list was ticked appropriately.
My system is a P4 2.8Ghz/512MB RAM/ 80GB HDD/ XPHome/ NIS2003/ Browsers are IE6 and Firefox. No known problems.
I have used GoBack and rolled back to ZA4.5.594.000 and everything is back to performing well again. Shame because I love Zone Alarm but will have to look around again if I am unable to upgrade successfully.

Thanks for all your efforts and input for our benefit. It is really much appreciated.


Elcee.
