XP / ZoneAlarm Woes[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#9)

I, too, had the same problems after installing SP3. Fortunately, I use Ghost 9.0, which was able to restore my pre-SP3 backup (made just before installing SP3). I then found Microsoft Help & Support article 953979, 07-Jul-2008, revision 5.0. Thus armed, I tried SP3 again, but this time turning Norton AntiVirus off first. Install went perfectly and I had no problems with seeing network connections or devices. ZoneAlarm did the blocking of all internet after the ZA download to fix the Microsoft DNS fix. I found that turning the firewall settings in ZA to off then to medium then to high seemed to work. I can only guess that there was some setting in the Registry which was corrected by that sequence of actions.
