OpenGL

I installed a new NVidia 7300 series Geoforce7 video card. Now none of my OpenGL programs run.

Celestia, GoogleEarth, Moray, Blender, and AC3D all barf at start up, leaving me with a windows error message that "something" has gone wrong, and XP wants to phone home with an error report. I'm certain it's a card problem, because Google Earth ran until I switched the display from DirectX to OpenGL.

Hmmm... Much to ponder about this.

Some Windows update or other has decided I don't want to run Zone Alarm firewall and want the XP firewall instead. Zone Alarm autostart was disabled, so I thought "Oh! I'll just uninstall/reinstall ZA and it'll be fine.' NO! Uninstall went fine, but now the installer can't find the truevector service installed components. I can't install Zone Alarm and I am now stuck with an almost non-configurable firewall that doesn't tell me ANYTHING apart from the fact that it's working. I can't trust a firewall like that.
