New Pop Up Windows Disappears/Closes Automatically

[Guest]

I have 3 user accounts on my XP SP2 PC. On two of them when a hyperlink is
clicked (eg to see a bigger image of a picture) a new window opens, fills and
then closes automatically. The examples use JavaScript OpenPopWin.

I've removed any Yahoo, Google toolbars and unchecked Block Pop-Ups options.

On the other account everything is fine.

Any hel;p appreciated

Hi,
I would keep looking at third-party toolbars, security, privacy, ad-blocking
programs, etc. I'll bet one of them is causing this. Anything
(non-Microsoft) in IE> Tools> Manage add-ons that looks like a possibility?

Running Ad-aware Pro? The "Block pop-ups" feature sometimes allows a window
to open momentarily before closing it.

Hope this helps,

Adaware was the culprit ! Thanks

Exactly my problem as well. One quick Search fixed my month-long problem.
THANKS.

I have the same problem, but I just wonder if some of you have found any
other solution than to turn ad-aware off?
