WHY!!! My comp Won't allow pop ups

[Amanda F]

My computer (all of a sudden) won't allow me open windows
in an already open window. For example, match.com
messanger is not allowed to open, yahoo or hotmail will
be open and won't allow me to reply as that is considered
a pop up window.

Where do I go to undo that setting? I want my pop-ups
back!! Arggh.

Some anti-virus programs and firewalls have a default setting to block
popups and scripts.

If you still have problems after checking your firewall and
anti-virus software, then look for the post that talks
about solving a similar problem with Javascript (which is
used for handling pop-ups).

I'm having this problem too in Win98SE. The URL is not getting added to the
address bar when the new window opens. If you click on a link that opens in
a new window the window opens with no address for it to go to. If you type
or paste in an address it goes to the page immediatly
