Really simple.

You have Zone Alarm which is firewall and ZA is disabling Windows Firewall
because you can't run more than one firewall on your system because of
incompatiablity .

You should decide which firewall to keep.

I advise ALL users to have only Windows Firewall set to ON with "Don't allow
exceptions" and remove any other firewalls but you decide which one best meet
your needs.

WF has only incoming protection (but very good) and ZA has bot incoming and
outgoing protection.

open zone alarm got to firewall click on advanced and uncheck disable windows
firewall, this should correct your having to reset windows firewll. let me
know if this works.

The two firewalls are canceling each other out. Contrary to Panda man, I
really think you should keep Zone Alarm because there are more options that
allow to customize the firewall to better fit your needs. If you do decide to
keep Zone Alarm, make sure it turns off Windows Firewall, or manually turn it
off yourself by going into the Security Center.
