Shut down Zonealarm. It thinks your software is a virus.\nShut it down, reload the needed software, then turn it back on. That should work but if not call Zonealarm support

First off, NEVER DELETE programs! Do a proper uninstall. Deleting a program leaves files in your system and can create havoc later! I am not sure what you are refering to when you say modem program, is it that your modem wont dial up? Is it phone dialing software? Be more specific. If your system wont dial up go to your system folder and find device manager. Look for your modem.  Uninstall it and then reboot. Sometimes what happens is a driver gets changed and unless you remove the invalid driver the right one wont load. If you havent dumped your recycle bin find the original software and restore it. If it still doesnt work after you have the proper driver then UNINSTALL the software. DO NOT DELETE ANY software! Once uninstalled reinstall it. Two ways to do a proper uninstall....first, check the program in your program menu to see if it has an uninstaller. No one knows better on how to uninstall it than the people who wrote it. Secondly, if no uninstall is available use the windows add remove in control panel.

As far as I know ZoneAlarm firewall is freeware now so you can download it and install it. Another alternative is this one:\nhttp://www.ghostsecurity.com/ghostwall/

First of all what firewall are you refering to ( windows firewall, zone alarm or another one ) If its the windows firewall, make sure to make an exception for avg to go through to allow it onto the internet, even if you do have it disabled, if it is zonealarm then it is still running and you need to get or let zone alarm to allow avg through the firewall. If you have a different firewall then you need to basically add it to the exception list of applications that you want to allow to go out to the internet.\n\nIf you need any help email me or post back :)

you need avtapi.dll in your pc, it either corrupted or uninstalled with other communication software you put on your pc, you need to uninstall and then reinstall that dialer program to get it right.

it is a long time since I used 2000, is the firewall icon on your task bar right hand side, if it is right click on it and open it up and knock it off if not you may have to go to the control panel click on the firewall Icon and do it from there,

aol and Zonelabs not very compatible.  Use AOL's service and built in XP firewall.

sometimes routers and modems "get stupid". Try unhooking the power and ethernet cables from the back of the modem and router if you have one. Wait 10-30 seconds then plug them back in. This is one way to RESET the modem and router. YOu might have to do this from time to time. Its nothing to worry about.

You can set up a software firewall that will block ports. ZoneAlarm is one of the most popular.  Below is a link to PcWorld.com where you can review a short description of ZoneAlarm and several other free firewalls.

some modems may not work with old verisions of windows, i beleive you should check with the one who installed your windows

It's probably a Softmodem (Winmodem) that is only functional with the proper drivers. You'll have to find out the manufacturer and/or the model number of the modem's chipset and then hunt for a driver on the manufacturer's website. Good luck!

The modem doesn't block and ports - your firewall. Depending on your firewall the way to allow would be different. If you are running a router, set up port forwarding. If you are using the Windows firewall set up an exception for the game. Based on your setup a google (or yahoo) search will bring you up specific instructions

I hate zone alarm, but I hate all software base firewall programs. OceanStarr method should work but if it doesn't you can try this. If your machine is Windows 98, Me, or XP type in msconfig in the run menu (Start – Run). Once it’s open select Diagnostic Startup. It will ask you to restart, do this. Once it’s back up try and uninstall it from Add Remove Programs. If it works be sure to set your startup option back to normal mode. This is done just like you did above but selecting normal mode. \n\nHope this helps.

Try going to www.adaware.com and downloading the personal use version. This has helped me with mine freezing up. I run mine at least once a week and sometimes every other day, just depends how much I have been online. One other thing is what type of service do you have? I had more problems with dial up not loading things quickly and getting timed out, but when I used my same computer at the library where I was able to use their wireless I had no problems.
