From: Ira on 15 Aug 2008 15:57 My laptop automatically installed KB952954, KB953838, and KB953839. After the forced reboot, I could not access another computer's shared disk area or printer. Microsoft's help phone line had me remove KB953838, and reboot but that didn't help. Lowering Zone Alarm's Internet Security Level to Med. (from High) worked around the problem.

And if you update to the latest release of ZoneAlarm - does that fix the issue with ZoneAlarm? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
From: Ira on 15 Aug 2008 17:21 I am running ZoneAlarm 7.0.483.000; TrueVector security engine version 7.0.483.00, and Driver version 7.0.483.00. According to the tool, this is the latest sofware version. Also, to be safe, I also uninstalled the other two Microsoft Security Updates.

I'd still suggest uninstalling/reboot/install anew the Zone Alarm firewall. After all - if changing the settings in that product 'fixes' your issue - that's a pretty major clue as to the problem source. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
