    I cant remember if the Older versions of ZoneAlarm pro, such as the 4.5 Series were XP compatible, or if they just worked on Windows 95/98 o_O

    I'd like to use this version,as it has no added crap such as AS/AV included,its just the standalone Firewall. It installs OK on my XP system, but when I reboot I get BSOD every time o_O So whats up ?

    I've used 4.5.594 on XP many times without any BSOD.

    True but then along came 2.6.88.2 :eek:
    That one remains my favorite of all their packet filter versions and is sitting quietly in my systray as I type :)

    Yes... it was very quiet and lean... from what I can recall. Simple, yet very effective :)

    Not sure what you mean by "then along came". AFAIK, 2.6.362 was the final 2.6 version released. Before that was 2.6.357.
    2.6.88.2 was released before XP, with digital signature of April 27, 2001.

    But how can you feel safe with just a packet filter. Being a Wilders member and not having an intrusive classical HIPS installed is just not right! :p

    Even though 2.6.357 is the first version to support XP, sometimes earlier versions will function on a particular system.

    Someplace I have a copy of the 2.6.357 install file. Where would a person get a setup file for 2.6.88.2 these days?

    I'm using XP Home on a single machine. I really liked the older ZA programs. Simple and light on resources.

    Was there anything wrong with them for a single user like me?

    Older versions of Zone Alarm can be downloaded here, but I don't think the 2.6 version is the oldest one in that development group. You might need to get it directly from someone who still has it on their system (like Bubba).
