This popup is NOT visible in bf1942, a lot of games let the popup come over but in bf1942 it'll seem like the system has crashed, you can't even switch back. Only solution is adding bf1942.exe manually to the list of programs in zonealarm and setting its settings to allow all BEFORE you start bf1942. You can easily test if your firewall is popping up a message by disabling it before launching bf1942.
