vsmon.exe problem

[eggsalad]

My RO lags like crazy when i go ingame, and i figured out it's due to vsmon.exe.

i did a search on google and found out that this is due to my firewall program, zonealarm pro.

when i end the task, RO is fine, but I lose my internet connection about 5 minutes later, every time.

does anyone know how the heck i fix this?  It's only started since i installed the new client, and never happened before.  zonealarm runs "behind the scenes" and i never even knew it still ran, untill now it's causing problems

Are you able to deinstall Zonealarm? Private firewalls are.. quite useless anyway, the Windows firewall suffices in most cases.

well i'm trying to uninstall zonealarm, but i cant cause it runs all sort of weird stuff in the background that i cant access.

Hmm, maybe start your Windows in safe mode and then try to uninstall it, if you know how to.

ah i figured it out, if anyone ever has a problem with this let me know.

to get rid of vsmon.exe and uninstall zone alarm:

go to control panel> administrative tools > services

disable true vector
then uninstall ZA from add/remove programs, and restart.

you'll be golden.
