ZoneAlarm is a third-party firewall and will disable the Windows Firewall.
This is by design since you *don't* want two firewalls running. If you want
to continue using ZoneAlarm, then leave the Windows Firewall disabled. If
you don't want ZoneAlarm, then uninstall per ZA's uninstallation
instructions at their website and then enable the built-in Windows
Firewall.

Check the Security Center in the control panel. There may be another
firewall ON (such as zonealarm), in which case it's appropriate that the
windows firewall is OFF.
