Link for installing previous versions of ZoneAlarm:
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/support/zap/zapMain.jsp
Click on the General FAQs link; interesting info there about problems, along
with links to install 4.5 & 4.5 Pro.

Thanks for the refs. I'm using ZoneAlarm Pro 5 now, anyone know how to get
the
older version 4.5? I can't find it on the zonelabs.com site. I also want
to be
protected by a personal firewall.
BTW, is anyone working on a workaround/fix? Apparently other firewalls like
Norton also cause problems with the X server.
