Another reboot problem with XP

Hi,

I have WinXP SP2:

Since about a week, I have occasional reboots (sometimes twice a day).

I used the Win Debugger to check the minidump file and found out that this driver could cause this: vsdatant.sys

Looking at Google, they say it might be caused by ZoneAlarm. But I have the same version since a long time without updating it (so did not change recently). I'm surprised it would be that.

I'm including the debugger ananlysis as well as the dump file.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 80566ccc, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: f07806b4, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

It`s difficult to be sure from only one minidump.

Your minidump crashes at vsdatant.sys. This is indeed Zonealarm.

Try updating Zonealarm and see if you problem disappears.

If it doesn`t, try a different firewall programme such as the free Kerio firewall from HERE.
