Hmmm.  I tried the same sequence, i.e. installing beta3 then trying to upgrade
to beta6 and I didn't have any problems on XP/SP1 without ZoneAlarm.

When you installed beta3 was that also an upgrade from some earlier version?

Do you remember if you rebooted between the time when you installed beta3 to
the time when you installed beta6?

Do you have a crash dump file?  Usually when Windows blue-screens it writes a
file called \windows\memory.dmp

I wouldn't mind taking a look at it (I can give you an FTP upload site).
