Can't use pop-ups or calls to web-sites via shortcuts, etc.
I'm not sure what's going on, but my pop-up blocker from IE rarely shows
itself and I dont' know how to get it to come up. I'm not sure that's the problem or the result of the problem I have, however. My best description is that when I am on a web-page, it seems that some of the time the pop-ups show up and some of the time they are blocked. I have a hunch, however, that it has something to do with Javascript, maybe, as it seems only the popups that have to do with "action-able" popups dont' work. they come up for a second, then they disappear. Similarly (maybe), When I paste a shortcut to a web-site on my desktop, some of them work while others exhibit the same behavior as the pop-ups. Thirdly, when I am sent an e-mail that has a URL in it that I want to go to, sometimes when I click on them, the web-site is called up, but sometimes, as with the other issues, they seem to want to come up for a moment or two, then disappear. I don't think this is a virus, but rather some security setting, or something wrong with Active Desktop or popups, or Java, or something. If you go to the Jibjab web-site, there are two ways pop-ups are called. One is the click on the recent musical things they have, which calls the program up as sort a pop-up, while some of their older settings call the software up in a different way. My computer will call up, then cancel the first type of pop-up, but allow the second type. Any help is much appreciated. ~~Rich |
