The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Internet Gaming Zone, version 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to access the Internet Gaming Zone (IGZ) at http://www.zone.com through a proxy server or firewall, you may receive an error message stating that the new Zone does not support your version of Windows.

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve this problem, do the following:

  Right-click on the Internet Explorer icon (usually located on the desktop).   Click Properties.   On the Connection tab, click Advanced in the Proxy Server area.   In the Exceptions area, add the following line below “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with:” *.zone.com NOTE: This step will bypass the proxy server. The Zone will not work over a proxy server connection. If you do not have a direct Internet connection and you must use a proxy to access the Internet, the Zone will not work regardless of the browser settings.   Click OK.   Click Apply, and then click OK. </li>  Restart Internet Explorer and try accessing the Zone site again. </li></ol>
