zonealarm +windows7 = bluescreen =lan/wlan not working anymore

[xiaoan]

Hi,
I tried to install Zone Alarm on my Windows 7 ultimate. I run the setup and soon after my pc crashed with a blue screen. After reboot i found out that my wlan was not working anymore ( i was connecting with wlan to the internet). Than i disabled wlan, plugged in my lan cable and did the setup again. One more blue screen and my lan is dead to now. I reinstalled all lan/wlan drivers etc. but it doesnt work.

What did the crash of Zone Alarm to my PC ? I DONT want to do a clean install of my OS!!

Hope you can help
Thanks

ZAFree is not yet Compatible with Windows 7

I only downloaded the newest version of the trial version. And it didnt give me a chance to say: This version is not compatible with windows 7... It just crashed with a blue screen after it tried to start the setup

What Version and Type of ZoneAlarm did you install?


1.) Which Trial Version? Free? ZAAV? ZAPro? ZASS? ZA Extreme?

2.) Conflict with other Pre-installed Security Software can cause Conflict..

You can also Contact ZA Tech Support Directly? However they will Require a lot more Details about your Computer and Version/Type of ZoneAlarm than you provide to me..

I have had the same experience exept no Wlan problems (running Win 7 Ultimate).

zapSetup_90_136_000_en.exe BSOD
zapSetup_91_008_000_en.exe BSOD

On my XP drive, no problem istalling any of above with the same hadrware. It is not a hardware issue. It has to do with Zonealarm crashing Win 7.

I've used ZA for years - it's the best Firewall on the planet, I am really dissapointed.

And please don't say ZA is compatible with Win 7 when it crashes the operating system within 3 seconds.


Here is my ZA BSOD Log File:

When Zonealarm personnel says "It is sometimes difficult to troubleshoot...", I see no effort to request on their part requesting Win 7 log files, etc.

I've used ZA for years - it's the best Firewall on the planet, I am really dissapointed with the Lethargy or Indifference with the current Windows 7 compatibility issues coming from Za Support.

And please don't say ZA is compatible with Win 7 when it crashes the operating system within 3 seconds.

Shame on you.

ZA 9.1 is compatible with Windows 7

Just because your install didn't go well does not mean its not compatible.
Please don't make those generic assertions about the software.

Its not compatible on your particular computer.
Tens of thousands of users have already installed ZA 9.1 on the Win 7 OS with no BSOD issue at all.
