Hi, I have Zone Alarm 5.1.011.000 Which I downloaded and installed yesterday. I have been using the various versions of 5 since it came out and have had no problems. Scan Disk has a setting telling it to run every time the computer is started. I think that somewhere this setting got turned on for you and that is why it runs every time you boot up. I do not think the problem is a conflict with Zone Alarm, unless Zone Alarm is what changed the setting.

A conflict with ZoneAlar Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2004 10:16:23 -0400 if the fix is only a few days away, I'll sit tight here. If it is longer, I'll have to go back to the old zone alarm...although, it isn't scanning for as long a time period now. still scans for at least an hour though.
