The 2 things that I am experiencing are fast user switch..I can switch, but
not log off. If I log off, the screen just goes black. ZA said they were
working on it. The other is frequent message when I reboot that ZA had a
system error, please reboot to start ZA again. I don't reboot, just open ZA
and start the application again. ZA also said they are working on it, and
both relate to SP2 & ZA 6.0 oh well, no big deal on either account.
