>>Just a warning, since I think many people use ZA. ZA 5 which is released yesterday, I believe, is full of bugs and all kinds of problems.

>>I wasted about 5 hours of my time today dealing with it. When I went to the ZA message board I found many unhappy people there too (and I thought it was just me). There was also a detailed suggestion on how to uninstall ZA and go back to previous version. I did that and my system is back to normal, it seems. But I don't wish it on anybody to go through this.

>Sorry to hear of your trouble and the amount of time it's cost you. It's this kind of thing that makes us all wary of rushing right out to apply the latest updates to any critical software. OTOH, and for the benefit of others reading this thread, I've updated two of my machines (one Win2K and the other WinXP) from ZA 4 to ZA 5 and both are running fine.

I hope all works well for you. One of the main problems I had was I could not open any of my .NET projects. ZA 5 was doing something to IIS. And I read on their message board that I was not alone. Actually someone there posted a list of problems. But perhaps ZA 5 works fine on some PCs.
