Dori, You could try this :- If you want ZoneAlarm to load up as normal at start-up but without the splash screen, navigate your way to the Windows folder. Then, All Users; Start Menu; Programs; Start Up; ZoneAlarm. Right click ZA icon. Properties; Shortcut tab; then type after the target -nopopup -nosplash. OK. then close window. VOILA !! Hope this helps.
