Zone Alarm Not Recognized in XP

Comment:
I am having a problem I've not had with Zone Alarm Before. I had a problem with my home build 2.1 Athlon Computer and had to reformat it. It has a gig of Ram, 120 gigs on the primary drive, and 250 gigs partioned to D and E drives.
What I am encountering is that now the Security Center on Windows XP (SP2) sees Zone Alarm but says it is not turned on. I've completely installed it and I am certain that is is functioning properly. I don't know what steps to take so that my computer will recognize the Zone Alarm Firewall.
I would sure appreciate any and all help in correcting this.

You can turn off the Windows security center by going into the services.msc.
Go to start - run - services.msc - scroll down till you see "Security Center" - double click on it - under startup type change it from automatic to disabled - restart the computer.
Personally I like to leave that off because it just doesn't work that well.

Question would be if ZA is really working.
Go to a test site and see. Then consider as above or contact ZA. Has any others done this? Since I guess it was working correctly and now not I'd be a bit worried. Might be time for new install again?? Could try other malware/virus sites/apps. Might try sfc.exe
