Can't find anything related to this Windows 2000 Pro BSOD error message on 1)bootup with cable modem connected, or 2) on closing an application window that failed to find an internet connection when the cable modem was never connected:

IO SYSTEMVERIFICATION ERROR
in vsdatant.sys (wdm driver error 224)
[vsdatant.sys+58a0 at F456B8a0]

This seems to point to Zone Alarm v3, but I don't know what got corrupted or what to do except a complete uninstall of ZA.

Any ideas? Thanks!

It is the Zone Alarm...Do a complete uninstall w/ the ZA off, then install the updated file.

Good Luck.

It is a corruption due to an update installing while the ZA is up & operating (been there/done that). You might have to go to the programs folder after the uninstall & remove anything left of ZA that is left behind after the uninstall.

Thanks! I did a complete uninstall and registry scrub on New Year's Day. Things are stable now. Not sure if I will re-install ZA3 or try a different firewall.
