Help..!!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

This is something to do with Zone Alarm.

I think it should stop after a few times. If not, PM me and I'll find a permanent solution...

it might be trying to run something in startup that WAS on a floppy disc in your "A:\" disc drive... :?

Sounds like Quiffy's on the ball there.

I've noticed that with the way Windows saves shortcuts to recent documents under "Documents" on the Start Menu, if you ever access anything on a floppy there's a tendency for your floppy drive to go positively mental pretty much forever afterwards. You might try clearing them down as well.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
