Zonealarm Problem open original image

I just upgraded ZA to 5.5 from 5.1. Settings are the same and preferences are set to load on startup.



Only problem is it doesn't load on startup. You have to open the program and it works fine from there.



I have checked startup at msconfig and it is checked off there.



What is curious though is that I have a file folder entitled Zone.com which has shortcuts to a list of games from Zone.com. Needless to say not related to Zone Alarm. Since upgrading that folder opens automatically everytime I restart the computer. Can't figure out how to stop that and wonder if they are related.



Any ideas?

Look in the registry and see what program the item you have checked is starting...

Try sticking a shortcut to ZoneAlarm into the Startup folder. Sounds a bit simple but it sometimes works for weird problems like the one you have.

Thanks, I know how to get to regedit but not how to find the correct entry.

Have you rtried uninstalling any Zone.com games and programs etc? After an uninstall, run the usual antispyware/adware programs and see how you go.

(You didn't mention the computer's OS.)

If you install the Startup Control Panel from

formatting link
you may find a reference to the offending folder in one of the sections. Delete that reference.
