vsmon.exe: DLL initialisation failed

*****

HC: When I log off (on every occasion) the following appears in a rectangular box: " vsmon.exe: DLL Initialization failed - The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down"

HC: What does it mean and how can I prevent this slogan from appearing when I close down? What is this all about?

Hi HC,

The vsmon.exe is a service that belongs to Zone Alarm, so if it is giving some problems then it has most likely got some sort of corruption.

I would recommend visiting www.zonelabs.com and downloading the latest Free version of ZoneAlarm and then completely physically disconnecting from the Internet so that you can upgrade or reinstall the programme.

Note: If you "upgrade", all previous settings will remain. If you do a "clean install", you'll lose your settings (that's only important if you have a home network or other customisationised settings).
