XP Problem

[Spiels]

For some reason i keep getting a pop-up window from
Internet Explorer but I cannot restore it from the
taskbar to see its web address. Is there any other way I
can see where it is coming from? I also have a pop-up
blocker by the way that doesn't seem to prevent it.

If these are "Messenger" pop-ups, they can be banished by enabling the XP
built-in firewall (which should be done anyway). See HELP & SUPPORT for
easy instructions.

If this is a program that has been inadvertently installed on your PC,
running ADAware may enable its removal. http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Read the instructions, download, install and run the program. The basic
utility is free.

If the pop-ups are site-related - the page that is being visited - then a
pop-up blocker may help. http://google.com Search for "ad blocker".
Or install and use a new-generation browser that has pop-up blocking,
such as NetScape "streamline Navigator only" from http://sillydog.org/narchive

It will selectively block pop-ups and images, and is much more customizable
than I.E. For more...
