Hi kevwelsh
As you do not mention the most important information, what version of
Windows you are using,or IE version, I can only be general.
If you have any popup or ad blockers, or other toolbars, such as Google,
Yahoo, disable them. If you have Yahoo Campanion, uninstall it.
XP has a lot of 'new features' built in and turned on by default:
The popup blocker that is installed with SP2 is simple to turn on and off
and is turned on by default. It shows down in the status bar of IE, and a
simple right click gives you the option to enable/disable the blocker. One
nice feature is that you can enable/disable popups for certain sites rather
than just arbitrarily enable or disable them for all sites.
Check you firewall and antivirus programs for any ActiveX, popup or ad
blockers and disable them. McAfee has an ActiveX blocker in some versions.
