First of all, you can see if its ZoneAlarm doing the block by simply =3D
shutting it down. Right-click the ZA icon on the bottom right corner by =
=3D
the clock and select SHUTDOWN ZONEALARM.
If its ZA, then its just a matter of finding what specifically it is =3D
that's blocking it. You might have ad-blocking on, and Jigzone might =3D
require the ads... just an example. If we know it ZA, then we can =3D
proceed on that aspect.
If its not ZA, then it probably a setting in AOL. I'm assuming you're =
=3D
using the AOL browser. Since you're getting an AOL security warning, =3D
it's a good chance its AOL. Try going to the site using straight =3D
Internet Explorer. If you can't find the icon, go to START > RUN and =3D
type in IEXPLORE, and enter. That'll open up IE. Try surfing now.
Still no good? If you have Firefox, Opera or any other browsers =3D
installed, try those first. If you don't have any other browsers, =3D
probably no need to actually get them... just another option for you =3D
though.
Ad-Aware has Ad-Watch that may be running in the background. Try =3D
shutting that down if its on. And, Spybot has, I think its called, Tea =
=3D
Timer. Also shut that down.
I haven't tried going to the jigzone site, but if it uses Java, you then =
=3D
need it installed (which according to your post you have already done =
=3D
that). Otherwise, it could also be using ActiveX or Flash. You mentioned =
=3D
the object being blocked was swflash.cab, which indicates its 'probably' =
=3D
shockwave/flash. Not sure how they name their files, other than the =3D
extension, but that file is a cab file, not an swf file.=3D20
These are just some ideas. Let us know what you've tried from this post.

I've got a big mess here - my hard drive was replaced Friday, and I'm =
=3D
trying
to get everything reloaded. I loaded Zone Alarm, Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware =
=3D
and
everything seemed to be working okay until my husband tried doing a =3D
puzzle
on Jigzone.com <http://Jigzone.com>. Now I get the message -
AOL Security Warning - Name of File swflash.cab - Windows has blocked =
=3D
this
software because it can't verify the publisher.
And when I try to get into AOL settings, a message comes up - An Error =
=3D
has
Occurred - Please Try Again Later. Also, the Jigzone says that this =3D
requires
a Java Enabled Browser. So I downloaded something called J2SE Runtime
Environment 5.0 Update 4. Still can't make it work. I have no idea what
program is messing me up. Before replacing the hard drive, my husband =
=3D
did
the puzzle every day with no problems. Does anybody have any idea of =3D
what's
going on here? Maybe I made some wrong options on Zone Alarm or =3D
something -
most of the time I wind up guessing at what I'm supposed to allow and
disallow.
Oh, thanks to whoever suggested downloading the Windows 98 patch - it =
=3D
took
care of my old computer's problem of not shutting down unless i did it
manually!
