popup problem

I am using explorer 6.0.2 and XP. When I try to hotlink to a number of
sites (but not all) I get an error message at the bottom of the
explorer window saying "a popup window was blocked". I have unchecked
the "block popup" check box in the security settings and also the popup
box in the toolbar, but it makes no difference. The only way I can open
these links is to hold down control at the same time as opening them,
but this is cumbersome. I am obviously missing something.

The OS is being run on Virtual PC (on a mac) but it's pretty obviously
not a VPC problem, but something I am doing wrong with explorer or
windows.

I believe its the java pop ups that you are having trouble with?

Can you give an example of what popups wont load without pressing ctrl?

I had the same problem with pogo games, when trying to view high scores, I
got an error message "oops, looks like you have a pop up blocker installed,
try holding down ctrl, alt or shft and open pop window again" well this
irritated me, so I set pop up blocker to allow pop ups from pogo.com and that
did nothing, so I reset all IE6 settings to default and checked allow java
scripting on advanced tab IE6>tools>internet options>advanced>java.

make sure all the java settings are correct and the problem should desist.
