Henry,

thanks for saying that.  my friend was also running 'black ice' ?  personal
firewall and an abrupt reboot would occur on Zope startup.  I was helping my
friend remotely - and he isnt the most technical fellow.  I believe he had
'disabled' the firewall program, but he may not have rebooted.  A Norton
program was running as well.  Again, I didnt have time to debug the problem.
He installed Windows 2000 Professional and the problems went away.  I
believe he is still running Black Ice on his new Win2k setup with no
problems.

thanks,
