I am using IE6 with Win XP SP2, so YMMV.

I infer from your description that you are using IE to go to
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups, aka MS Discussion
Groups, one way or another.

When I have the problem that you describe, it is because I have
disabled pop-ups. As you describe, it still does not work even when I
set the banner-line option to temporarily allow pop-ups.

The only thing that has worked for me is to "always allow" pop-ups
from www.microsoft.com. This option was presented to me by a pop-
up(!), as I recall. Alternatively, in IE6, I could go to Tools > Pop-
up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings and enter the website.

If you try Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Turn Off Pop-up Blocker to no
avail, I can guess at two possible explanations. Perhaps you need to
close all instances of IE and restart it. I don't know. Or perhaps
you have some other pop-up blocking software, e.g. Norton Internet
Security.

Hope that helps. If not, try posting your question in a more
appropriate newsgroup, one specific to IE or IE7.
