Can't be the websites since they work fine on my sister's computer and they
worked fine on my old computer. (This computer was just purchased 2 months
ago and the problem has existed since the begininning). Trywww.webkinz.com,
www.pokemon.com, andwww.pogo.com and see if they work on yours.

Hi Tasha,
Does your sister's computer run Internet Explorer 6 or Internet
Explorer 7? IE 7 uses tabbed browsing, so there is a significant
difference.
I tried a few links on the Web sites that you cited and found that
scroll bars appeared in pop-ups when needed. I assume that you are
running Vista Home edition and IE 7. I am guessing that your sister is
running XP and IE 6.
Since I am running Vista and IE 7 and didn't see anything the matter
with those pop-ups, it tends to indicate that the trouble is with some
settings on your computer.
Go to Tools, Internet Options, General tab and towards the bottom is a
section called "Tabs", click the Settings button for tabs, where it
says, "When a pop-up is encountered:" select "Let Internet Explorer
decide how pop-ups should open."
Go to
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp and below the big blue
"Free Java Download" button, click the link for "Do I have Java?"
Follow the instructions there. If you do not have Java, or do not have
the correct version of Java then also follow their instructions for
updating/installing Java. Since your computer is new, the Java Runtime
Environment plug-ins required for some of those games may not have
been loaded. This might help to solve your problem.
I hope that you get it working exactly the way you like, but another
possible work-around (only if the above two steps don't work) would be
to set the pop-ups to always open in a new tab. Some people like it
that way, some people don't. If you choose to try that, then at least
you won't have the trouble with scroll bars.
