Search function problem
 
When rightclicking on my harddisk or folder in Explorer and selecting search I get the following error:

There was a problem sending the command to the program

What can I do about it? When using the search function from the start menu it works fine.

I have the problem on both hard disks (Fat + NTFS)

OS Win XP Pro SP1

I updated ZA version 3.7.143 after a reminder from ZA, and the right-click search function in "Windows Explorer" stopped working. (with an Error message)

I removed the new update & re-installed the old version - the search function returned & worked !!

Anyone else found this (or a fix)

couldn't find a complete fix, just a couple of workarounds.

The first workaround is the one you've already discovered - go back to the earlier version.

The second workaround involves having Zone Alarm give Windows Explorer permission to access the internet when using the right-click search function. Yes, I know you are not accessing the internet; Zone Alarm apparently thinks you are. The most secure way of doing this would be for you to configure your settings to require that Windows Explorer "Ask" for permission each time it wants to access the internet.

You're right, ver 4.5.538 does "think" it is accessing the internet, when you tell it NO it won't right-click search in Windows Explorer. Shut down Zone Alarm momentairly and you can fire off a search immediately.
