    Go to your device manager>hidden devices and see if vsdtant and true vector services are installed, un-install them and re-install ZAP, then on the start>programs>ZAP>uin-install, right click and type /clean at the command.

    Turn off ZAP and then un-install.

    Have you tried cleaning up C:\WINNT\Internet Logs and then tried installing it?

    For your future reference, to get a clean uninstall of ZA, it is best to do the following:-

    1. Open the ZoneAlarm Pro program, go to the OVERVIEW/PREFERENCES tab, and make sure the Load At Startup box is UNchecked.

    2. Now left-click on the ZA icon in your system tray, and select Shutdown ZoneAlarm. Confirm.

    3. REBOOT.

    4. You should now have no ZoneAlarm/ZoneAlarm Pro processes running
    on your system.

    5. Now run Start, Programs, Zone Labs, Uninstall. Be sure to say YES
    to delete all files, and you MUST allow TrueVector service to shut
    down in order to remove files.

    WARNING - Do NOT run the ZoneAlarm Uninstall program while in Safe
    Mode. The program may not be able to make the proper registry
    changes in Safe Mode, thus generating errors after a reboot.

    6. REBOOT.


    At the moment though you are in a bit of a pickle, so I would suggest attempting to re-install ZA in Safe mode.

    If that fails you should clean from your Registry any ZA entries and try again. Here is a Reg cleaner to help you with that:-
