pop up blocker but I can't find it
« on: January 31, 2007, 02:48:27 PM »
I swear I feel more and more computer illiterate every day.  My wifes computer has some sort of pop up blocker.  It doesn't say a pop-up was blocked in the top left, and to the best of my knowledge and searching there doesn't seem to be any pop-up blocking software.  Its really annoying beacuse if you go to a site where a pic can be enloarged with pop-up, it won't let you unless you get lucky.  Sometimes it takes 10-15 clicks to finally get the pop-up to work and each time you click unsucessfully you year that bloop sound (like a pop-up).  I have disabled the pop-up blocker in IE and still no go.  Any ideas?

This might be long and tedious but post a list of the software currently installed...

    Have you run your antivirus & antispyware lately / booted into Safe Mode & see if it pops up / run 'msconfig' to see what's running when you boot?
