I have to go to a site that gives me some info in a pop-up
form. I keep seeing that a popup blocker is blocking it
EVEN though I have it turned off in IE.

I'm confused!!!!!

Help please.
 
Hi,
Do you have another pop-up blocker running? How about the Google toolbar?
Yahoo toolbar? Earthlink toolbar?

My problem is related to this on..... I am unable to turn the pop-up
blocker on! Everytime I check the box to turn it on and go back in,
it is unchecked again. I am also unable to turn it on in the status
bar.

I have checked and do not have any adware or viruses.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Hi,
Your message headers indicate IE7 on XP, right?

These and other third-party programs can block registry changes related to
IE settings.Examine the settings of security/privacy/antispyware programs
for the option to lock the homepage, lock IE control panel, lock IE
settings, etc.

Spybot (Advanced Mode) Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Ad-aware Pro
Norton AV 2006 (Web Browsing > Spyware protection)
McAfee AV or Antispyware
Spyware Blaster
Spysweeper
Zone Alarm- free and pro

You may be able to startup in Safe Mode (the antispyware/security program
won't be running) change the homepage then restart the computer. That won't
always work- an earlier version of Zone Alarm free had to be uninstalled-
not simply disabled.

Hope this helps,
