pop up blocker location

[Guest]

Im running windows XP home edition (2002) and i believe that i turned on a
pop up blocker somewhere that came "stock" with the computer. Now I
completely forgot where i turned it on at and i would like to turn it off.
Anyone know where i should go in order to turn it off.

Hi

There is a pop-up blocker included with SP2. It is on the Tools menu in
Internet Explorer, but it may not have come with your PC as it has only just
become available. See if there is a 3rd party blocker program on your
system via Start>Programs.

Well im pretty sure that ist not a third party blocker. I guess the main
thing that im concerned about is when ever i try to view flashes on the
internet or play internet games they dont work. In the location where they
should be it says "Sorry ! As your browser is not java-enabled, Javanoid
can't run...". How can i get it to run?

This has nothing to do with pop-up blockers of any kind, then. It
would have helped if you'd have accurately described the nature your
problem the first time.

As the result of a lawsuit by Sun Microsystems, and the ensuing
settlement, Microsoft was not allowed to provide its own Java Virtual
Machine to Windows XP users. You can get almost the same
functionality by downloading Sun's version of Java from
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html. If you want the wider website
compatibility of Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, it is still
available from a lot of 3rd-party web sites, one of which is here:
http://www.virtualmachine.tk/.

If you do choose the Microsoft JVM, be sure to apply a needed
security patch.
