After being away from the computer all evening, I found an ugly little

and the news that there had been a system error, please reboot.  I
did, and the red and yellow icon showed up again, along with a window
that said the computer was unable to load "My Vault".  I rebooted a
second time and the same ugly icon came back.  A brief foray to the
Zone Alarm page did not immediately turn up an answer, so rather than
spend half the night going through stuff that had no relation to the
problem, I thought I'd try and see if one of the computer brains here
could help.  Does anyone have any helpful suggestions?

Why is it that the software designed to prevent problems always seems
to cause the most problems? Personally, I don't use that kind of
stuff, but I know that doesn't help you any.

When I do have a problem, though, I can usually solve it, as Jim says,
using Google. Be sure to check both the web and the newsgroups.
