| I'll keep responding to the group in case others reach this level of
deperation. I didn't note which files were in the Conflict folders. There
were 3 of them, and Conflict.3 had the only zone file that I recognized...
zinstll or something like that. I deleted all the references to
Conflict.1 - 3 in the registry, but haven't deleted any other zone files
from the registry, like zproxy.exe for instance. Should I kill a few of
these entries as well? The file doesn't exist on the machine anyway...
thoughts?
Please clarify the point below - you want me to uninstall the "Z Games"
component of Windows. If so, I'll give it a try. If I'm looking for
something called Zone, it's not there.
Thanks again!
