Pop Ups

[km1234]

I have turned off my pop up blocker but it is still preventing pages from opening in new windows. Can anyone help?

[TheTerrorist_75]

What browser and do you have any toolbars, such as Google, that have a popup blocker?

[martymas]

if you go to

ie

tools- internet options-privacy tab-advance

check- overide autmatic cooking handling

and check both

first party and third party cookies to block

if there is a site you want to access

set first party cookies to prompt

'and if a site wants to place a cookie on your compt

you have the option

then it is your fault if you say yes and get pop ups

Thanks for your response.

I'm using Internet Explorer.

When I right click and try to open a link ina new window, nothing happens. I also cant open drop down menus.

I tried changing the cookies but it didnt make any difference.

Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8? Is it popups that don't open or are you trying to open a link in a new tab/window? Cookies have nothing to do with this.

Not sure, how would I find out?

In the IE toolbar under help you should find "about"

Try this:

Control panel -> Internet options -> Advanced

Scroll to "browsing". Uncheck "Reuse Windows for launching shortcuts". Apply, and close.

Google and many other tool bars can be doing this. If you want to allow pop ups and no one I know does, you can uninstall those Tool bars.

The way I read it is that he's trying to open pages in another window. Not just block pop ups. If so, my instructions will work.
