To remove ZoneAlarm completely from your computer in case normal uninstall can’t be run or doesn’t run properly, do the following:



* Right click the ZoneAlarm systray icon and click Restore ZoneAlarm Control Center.

Go to Overview > Preferences and uncheck Load ZoneAlarm at startup.

Close Control Center, right click the icon again and then click Shutdown ZoneAlarm.

Note: If you're unable to carry out this step because the icon is missing, you can skip it and proceed with the next steps, but in this case do them all in safe mode!



* REBOOT



* Go to Start > Programs > ZoneLabs and click Uninstall, or uninstall ZA using Control Panel > Software > Add/Remove Programs.

If a security check appears, click Yes and continue the uninstall procedure.



* REBOOT



* Make sure hidden files and folders are shown. To do so open Windows Explorer. Depending on your OS click Tools or View and then Folder Options > View.

Choose Show hidden files and folders, uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Windows 2000/XP/2003 only) and click OK.



* Next go to Start > Search > Files and Folders. Make sure the location box is set to search your Local Hard Drive (usually C:\ ) or All Local Drives. Also make

sure the Advanced Search Options are set to search subfolders and hidden files. Now copy the entire line below, paste it into the search box and click Search Now.




Zonelabs; "zone labs"; "Internet logs"; vsconfig.xml; vsdata.dll; vsdata95.vxd; vsdatant.sys; vsmon.*; vsmonapi.dll; vsnetutils.dll;vspubapi.dll; zaplus.*; zapro.*; zllictbl.dat; zlparser.dll; zonealarm.exe; zoneband.dll; vsutil.dll; zlclient.*



A list of files and folders belonging to ZoneAlarm will appear in the Search Results pane.

Note: if you’re using McAfee software be sure to check the vsutil.dll if found: right click the file and choose Properties. Verify it belongs to ZoneLabs.

If it does not do not remove it. Now proceed by deleting all ZoneLabs files and folders that were found.



* Empty the Recycle Bin.



* Now remove all ZoneLabs keys that may be left in the Windows registry. To do this copy the lines below and paste them into Notepad.

Save the file as zabegone.reg, double click it and allow for the registry changes to be made.






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


REGEDIT4



[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZAMailSafe]



[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zone Labs]



[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Zone Labs]



[-HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Zone Labs]




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




* REBOOT


ZoneAlarm will now be completely removed from your computer

Look for anything else "out of place"  Uncheck that.  Do it one at a time between reboots.
You should be able to recover from any mistakes.

Holds and displays up to 10 feeds, minimzes to tray, changes color and transparency levels via Properties and(usually) remembers all the settings on reboot/restart. Just to make it all easier, I copied all my RSS feed links to a textfile on the desktop and if it restarts blank, the info's right there to copy & paste.

I can't make any promises but if you would like to email it too me I will take a look and see if we can make it look the way you want. Email]]>http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:24:12 -04002008-07-25T00:24:12Cavan1 on Need a Guru's HelpDaiwahttp://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400 I see the cause of at least one of the problems:

The left and right sizing margins of the Titlebar graphic are set so that the "narrow" ends of the graphic are excluded from stretching/tiling and that the "end brackets" for the "wider" portion of the Titlebar are likewise excluded from stretching/tiling. This results in the right end of the Titlebar graphic (the part excluded from stretching/tiling by the sizing margin setting) is overlapping the corresponding left end of the graphic in small windows, any window which is narrower than the sum of the two sizing margin settings in fact, such as the Message Box in your linked image.

The magic pink problem may also be related to the overlapping of the images, though I'm less sure of that.

I don't know of a "fix" for this as I don't think WB can force small windows to be a minimum width.

Cheers,
Daiwa]]>http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:24:12 -04002008-07-25T00:24:12Daiwa on Need a Guru's HelpLantechttp://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400 I was guessin'
I assume you've already played with the margins. My guess was buttons since it's the sizable version and the right side that seems to want to overlap.]]>http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:24:12 -04002008-07-25T00:24:12Lantec on Need a Guru's HelpBichurhttp://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98588 tga? that translucency/transparency thing I may have read about in another thread? i seem to recall the transp was based on either black or white


i'm just guessing ]]>http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98588http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98588Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:24:12 -04002008-07-25T00:24:12Bichur on Scollbar Help-scion-http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400 from the looks of things, you have a caption background for the titlebar text. if that is the case make sure you have the "translucent" button checked also, double check the content margins for the content background. additionally, the content background and and the titlebar NEED to be the same size vertically...otherwise they will fight each other and produce the effect you have here. you may also want to go to the visibility setting for the content background and make it so it displays only if there is a minimize button, or something to that effect. since those message boxes have no titlebar text...you don't need to the background for it.

without looking at your skin in SKS it's hard to determine what it might be other than the content background issue.]]>http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:24:12 -04002008-07-25T00:24:12-scion- on Need a Guru's HelpLantechttp://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400 Just a guess...
It looks like it's trying to make a button visible and in doing so bringing in the whole corner from edge to end of button. If you check in the Button Visibility section you may find a visibility setting that will eliminate the problem. ]]>http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400http://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98400Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:24:12 -04002008-07-25T00:24:12Lantec on Need a Guru's HelpMPDhttp://redbuzzard.joeuser.com/article/98197 I have occasionally had this problem.

1 - the laser is not creating pits due to media problems or laser failure at lower wavelengths.
2 - information not being read before writing.

The only suggestions I would have are:

1 - Try a different brand DVD media
2 - Try recording with or without creating an image first (whichever you have not tried)
3 - Try writing at the slowest possible speed with Nero, and tell it to verify the data after writing
4 - Try uninstalling the drive using Device Manager, and reboot to force Windows to reinstall the drivers
