Links don't open

[Guest]

About a year ago this problem started. I click on a link on the page, it blinks off and on but doesn't open. I have done most of the updates, tried different setting etc. This also happens in Netscape and Mozilla. I had to use Opera to even send this message. Tried in IE and the links did the same thing. About ready to dump IE except some sites don't support Opera. I like IE better when it worked properly.

Phyllis,
In addition what Don has recommended, did you add an Ad-Pop-up blocker program to your PC, or AV/Firewall Suite of programs, such as Norton or McAffee. Or maybe the toolbars from Yahoo or Google? Or was added by your ISP, such as EarthLink?

You may need to go into its settings, and select to allow such pop-ups for that site, I had a similar issue with POGO game site, a banking site that I use.

Thanks. Be aware that for those editing the HOST file to block pop-ups, don't be too aggressive with the amt of entries, because it to can restrict access to websites that you want.
