Hi,

Is there a way to search my entire hard drive for pop up blocker
software. I am trying to download some software and it is not letting
me do so. Says that I have a pop up blocker installed. Problem is
that I have turned off all the ones I know of. I only remember using
the built in IE and Google Tool bar versions. I know I have turned
these off.


I have tried holding down the Control Key and then tried holding down
the Shift key. I have also gone through my Add/Remove Programs and
Program Files searching for Pop Up Software.


I am stumped.


Any help would be appreciated.


Dave


Hi Dave,
Right click yor IE icon on your Desktop and select properties from the drop
down menu/List.
On the IE properties window click on Privacy and go down to the Option Titled:
Pop-up Blocker and set to Medium to block most unwanted pop-up for you.
Under Notifications and Fiter Level check these Option check Box;
[ ] Play a sound when a pop-up is blocked
[ ] Show Information Bar when a Pop-Up is Blocked
As Viki said if you have another Software installed with pop-up blocker can
contribute to this Error Message and they have Options Menu you can configure
them to allow or disallow a pop-up.
HTH.
Please let us know your findings.
Regards.

I am totally stumped here. I have every possible pop up blocker
un-installed or turned off that I know of. I have cleared out my
cookies and temp files. Still no go.
To add to the mix, I can try to use FireFox to open up the site, but it
requires Java to be running. When I try to tell Java to allow FireFox
to use Java to run apps, I get a message saying that either the install
of FireFox is bad, which it isn't, or that I need an administrator to
change the option and I am the only administrator/person using the
machine. Frustrating.
