pop-up windows won't open anymore

[Philippe]

for some odd reason, I have no pop-up windows opening
anymore. something seems to prevent them to open.
How can I fix that? can you help

Philippe,
From IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced> Browsing> uncheck "Reuse windows
for launching shortcuts."
And... you probably have a program running which is blocking pop-up windows-
something like Yahoo companion, Google toolbar, Earthlink pop-up blocker,
etc.
With some programs of this type, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click will allow
a new window.

Check your anti-virus and firewall for options to block popups or scripting.
Have you changed the scripting options in Security?
