Title: My Houdini computer
Post by: lisashomeoffice on March 14, 2009, 01:12:41 AM

Yesterday, I downloaded Stopzilla (it seems to be a good utility) Now once in awhile I have a problem keeping pages open.  I open a page and it downloads and then disappears automatically.  It doesn't happen with all the websites;however, it is annoying.  I input the url again, and the same thing happens. It starts to load and either it disappears during the load or shortly after the page comes up.  I wanted to remove the Stopzilla file but I thought I ask first. I checked Spybot S/D & Adaware.  They come clean so I just am at wits end.

I too am using Stopzilla ...... Turn off the pop UP Stopper and the websites will stay open. You should be able to remove the sites from the Black List so they'll open for you.

If I turn off the pop up blocker won't I get pop ups?.  Do you use a different utility to take care of the pop ups?  I'll try it and let you know how it worked.  Thanks for the advice.

Hello,
I disabled the pop-up blocker, and it does seem to be working better.  I forgot that it doesn't take too much for the popup blocker to mess up the computer.  Thanks.
