The only thing I can say is that TB! triggers a problem. Whether the
problem is in fact completely in TB!'s realm of responsibility is
yet to be proven. I naturally doubt this very much since my
experience with TB! is the opposite. I run it 24/7 on my XP system
and throughout all beta's etc for the last year, it has never
interfered with XP. I hope you persevere since I'm sure there's a
culprit.

Wow! :(
Time to get ZA out of the equation I'd say. The only way to do this
would be through a complete uninstall of it.
There are other firewalls that are equally or more effective than
ZA. I personally recommend Kerio Personal Firewall. It carries a
small footprint, is VERY stable, and does only what you tell it to.
No tricks or unexpected surprises.
OTOH, I personally can't think of another client to replace TB!
with. :)

TB! and ZA don't get along on many systems. I had a very bad
experience personally.

Yeah. Sounds like you're CPU resources are completely consumed
by some errant process.
VBG> Is it possible something was still running? I don't know :(
Don't know but an open mind is important here. It's very hard to
have one in these circumstances.
