Internet Not Accessible -- Weird Tweak?

Hi --

I have XP Home SP 1. Just this past week, I've had trouble
getting online. No internet, no email, no ftp. If I go to Services
and manually start the TRUE VECTOR service, then I can go online.
I have to do this everytime I boot up.
Isn't there a way to make TRUE VECTOR stay on?

The True Vector service is ZoneAlarm. I don't have a solution for
you, but if nobody can help you here, try

As Ken said. Also, it helps to set the True Vector service startup to
"Automatic" (default).

Hi Guys,
I did have the service set to Automatic. But it wasn't starting
up.

I uninstalled ZA completely, and now I can go online. I was
using an old version 2 of Zone Alarm. I think it works as well as the
newer versions, and it considerably lighter. I'll reinstall it later
and try again.

Thanks for the suggestions.
