Program compatibility & Drivers

I just installed Vista. Everything is fine except that I keep getting a
program compatility dialogue box regarding the incompatibility of a driver -
truevector device driver. I checked the Zone Labs website adn tehre doesnt
seem to be a new driver (unless I just totally missed it). At any rate,
assumign that there is no new driver yet, is there a way to disable the
compatibility dialogue box? It is one of htese boxes that is permanently
there. It cannot be closed or cancelled.

I wanted to removed the driver from teh system, but I am afraid of what the
consequences might be.

Thanks in advance

Re: Program compatibility & Drivers

ZoneAlarm is NOT currently compatible with Vista and should have been
uninstalled before you upgraded to Vista.

Re: Program compatibility & Drivers

Repost (I dont think hte first one made it on)

Thanks for your reply. When I purchased by computer (HP), as far as I know
it didtnt have zone alarm installed. It was floor sample and before I got
it, they restored it to the original condition as it was when it was shipped.
It is possible that they had zone alarm installed, but it was not installed
when i received.

So the next question is: if i remove the two files (vsdata.dll adn
vsdatant.sys) both of which are connected to the truevector device driver
that the program compatibility dialogue box keeps telling me about, will that
destabilize the operating system?

Re: Program compatibility & Drivers

The issue has been resolved. I just removed the .dll and .sys file
assocatiad with truevector (which is not to be found on my machine) and
everything fine.

Thanks
