I'm not sure if this is a Zone or firewall problem. If you're familiar with the Zone's 'cd-rom required' multiplayer games then I've got a question for ya. I cannot participate in any games for some reason. I'm attempting to play Age of Empires II: The Conquerers Expansion. The problem is that I can't actually play in any games. The person hosting the multi-player game launches the game and there is a standard screen that appears stating:"Setting up multi-player game", then after a few seconds the game is supposed to start, but in my case it says, "Unable to launch game". I know that with Zone Alarm Pro, if running will keep the game from working, but I don't currently have it running. If I host the game, it works for me but the other person gets the error message. Whats the deal?

Also, there is this (http://zone.msn.com/en/support/article/support3401) page, but if I'm not even running Zone Alarm Pro then this shouldn't matter. Right?
