Hi. Since installing WindowsXP, I have been having a very
annoying problem with zone friends. When I log onto the
zone, all is fine, zone friends list appears, people can
message me, I can reply then wammo, it crashes, only stays
online for a few minutes. Only way I can get it back on-
line is to sign out, and sign back in.

I have downloaded and installed the service pack 2, and
that didn't work, anyone that can fix this, their help
would be greatly appreciated.

Known issues with XP SP2 and various products out there.

It may help to use the "Enabling programs" section of the above article
to allow Zone.exe, Zproxy.exe and any other Zone program that
communicates with the Zone.

There's a section here on disabling the XP firewall:
